I think it's as clear as mud.

Mike Lake Conservative Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB

Well, it's not crystal clear when people misrepresent what's written in the act.

Mr. Lake, Mr. Angus, this is debate for clause-by-clause deliberation. Thank you very much.

Does anyone want to respond?

Go ahead.

Michèle Clarke

I have a point. Since there would appear to be, obviously, between those of you here at the table, some differences with respect to the interpretation, it's difficult for us too. Obviously, we're not lawyers. I'd be pleased to go back to my organization to get some clarity in order to respond to all of you with respect to what our position is on this.

The Chair NDP Glenn Thibeault

Thank you, Ms. Clarke.

To the members of the committee, most of that discussion we'll save for clause-by-clause. You can talk it out then.

I want to thank our witnesses for coming today. Thank you very much for your information. It was very helpful for the committee.

We are the hardest-working committee on the Hill, so we meet again tomorrow from 3:30 to 6:30 in room 237-C. Again, that's at 3:30.

Until then, this committee is adjourned.
