Mr. Chairman, I can't reject what the Member is asking, but I don't want to frivolize the process, either. This has been worked on extensively. There has been extensive consultation with a wide range of groups, many individuals and the Standing Committee on Legislation. The Member admits that he hasn't read it. He hasn't looked at the entirety of this legislation but he has concerns. I can't start to agree to proposed amendments and suggestions by the Member. It frivolizes the process.
The legislation, as it is drafted now, is a generally-agreed-to document. If a person comes along who hasn't read the legislation and doesn't appreciate the full contents of it -- the specific wording -- then it frivolizes the work because then I start agreeing to proposed amendments based, perhaps, on unfounded fears and misconceptions. I can't do that. I'm not rejecting it. I simply suggest the Member take the time to read and go through it with seasoned lawyers and people who are experienced legislators to comprehend the intent and the scope of the legislation before him.
