Today I believe we're studying a number of amendments that concern the Access to Information Act. Consequently, I repeat what I said yesterday: we of the Bloc Québécois would have liked the reform of the Access to Information Act to be included in Bill C-2, as the Conservatives said during the election campaign.
That was not the government's wish, as we saw when it tabled Bill C-2. It decided to table a proposal for study by another committee. We don't want to adopt certain amendments concerning the Access to Information Act on a piecemeal basis. We think this should have been included in Bill C-2. If that isn't the case, we should let another committee study the reform of the Access to Information Act.
Furthermore, the Conservatives are putting on the pressure to have Bill C-2 passed very quickly. They have told us that in the committee and emphasized it through the media, since it was announced in the newspaper today. Consequently, I think we should only study the elements included in Bill C-2 and not touch the Access to Information Act.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
