Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm not sure who I'm directing this question to if the chairman of the standing committee is reluctant to answer questions from the floor here. I'm curious, Mr. Chairman, that the committee's recommendation is only that the report be received and moved into committee of the whole. I, as a non-Member of this committee, am relying on the committee to have done careful review of the bill and heard from members of the public. And I would have expected more enthusiasm if the committee felt the bill is a wonderful thing and would be a great leap forward. I would have thought the committee would recommend the passage of the bill. But, instead, it has recommended the report be noted and moved into the committee and the recommendations are that...There are notes in the bill about the issues that were identified in the public hearings, but no real conclusion.
I guess I'd like to ask somebody, whether it's the Minister responsible or the chair, is there enthusiasm about this legislation? Is it something we're excited about or are we being propelled to do the politically correct thing because everybody else has done it and we hope it might work and we're going to get an annual review on how effective it was in the report of the Commissioner? I'm just trying to get a feel from people who know more about this bill than I do. Are we excited about it? Are we welcoming and embracing this progressive legislation or is it a ho-hum event where even the committee who considered it, is saying well, here's our report but we're not sure whether we're willing to recommend passage or not. Thank you.
