Mr. Chairman, I am going to share my time with my colleague. But first I would like to ask another question.
Let us talk about coordination. Three agencies have a role to play under Bill C-27: the Competition Bureau, the CRTC and the Privy Council. When the minister last appeared before the committee, he told us that a coordination agency would be set up and that it would not be very large. I would like to hear your views on this. You mentioned that each organization should have a specific mandate. I understood you to say that it will be important to assign a clear mandate to each organization. Is Bill C-27 clear enough in terms of coordination?

So we are again generating another set of stateless Canadians. Bill C-37 just doesn't work.
