Thank you for being here today, all of you.
Since I come to this rather late and this bill has a long history, I want to ask about what happened in the Senate during the last round. If you know, I'd be happy to hear from you. My question specifically is this. Senator Furey and Senator Banks had introduced some amendments. I'm asking these questions because if we can clarify them here, it might not be held up in the Senate. It might be easier that way.
I don't know what Senator Furey's concerns were. He tells me they were dealt with.
In terms of Senator Banks' concerns, I don't have the information on them, on what they were. Generally speaking, they were that individuals, with respect to disclosure of information, don't have the same protections that businesses or industry might have, where the minister has the discretion and the authority to disclose information.
I'd like you to tell me if you know what Senator Banks had introduced and whether or not that has been dealt with in this. If not, what is the rationale?
