Well, in all seriousness, we've had a very compressed time, but it's a fairly poignant session of this committee when we have witnesses talking about protecting our competitive advantage globally. Innovation should be important to all of us. This is the blood and guts of this organization, and despite every opportunity to cross-examine or get out of this group that came before us, there was no compelling reason not to put them on the same footing as Canada Post and VIA Rail with respect to trade secrets, financial, commercial, scientific, or technical information.
I totally respect what Export Development said. Of course, they had no problem. There are protections under section 18 of the Access to Information Act, there is protection under the PIPEDA regulations, but we already have exceptions in this near-perfect act. The case for this group was perhaps the most compelling. So I don't know how, if members of the committee were listening carefully to that témoinage, they could resist voting for this amendment.
