Thank you.
Mr. Chair, if the committee decides to move forward on these two and pass these--I still think we have an opportunity to decide whether we're going to pass the bill or not, as amended--I would recommend they look at adding those types of wording so it doesn't leave an open-ended $300,000 or $400,000 severance package to somebody ahead of those who are working who can only get $2,000.
I'm going to say one other thing. This is why I'm not a big fan of private members' bills, because you can ask for what you want: the Library of Parliament will provide it. It doesn't go through the rigour of policy and legal review that other bills do. And I'm not blaming the private member for this. So that's why it's dangerous, in my view, to have in this case a two-clause bill making some significant changes to the employment processes we have in this country. I don't think it's been properly vetted. That's why simple things, like what we've heard now, can make a significant impact without the proper wording.
At this point, unless I'm convinced otherwise, I will not be supporting the bill as it's been amended.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
