I can give a partial answer. First, several foundations could not appear before this committee because our schedule was pretty full. Also, these foundations may not have the lobbying capacity to be able to tell members of Parliament that they want to be exempted from Bill C-2. This is another reason why we will oppose amendment L-12.
We do not want a piecemeal approach to this, and we think all these foundations and agencies should have been examined so as to decide which ones are included and which ones are not. I have no grudge against the Canada Foundation for Sustainable Development Technology. But I will vote against amendment L-19.
