Mr. Chairman, what I did was provide amendments to Bill C-2 as it is written, to bring it into harmony with the draft of the open government act. We focused exclusively on what was in Bill C-2.
As you know, once the House of Commons gives a bill second reading, it does limit what you can bring into the bill from outside. I determined that I would deal only with what was in Bill C-2, and provide necessary amendments, so that should the committee decide to change Bill C-2 to bring it into accord with the draft open government act and with standard procedures in openness and transparency, members would have the amendments before them.
