I would like to think that any other amendments that you may wish to make would be accepted by the committee and the clerk. If you have time to study the bill, we would be delighted to receive any further suggestions for amendments that you may have.
I have a question for you, but I do not know whether you will be able to answer it. It concerns the possibility of broadening the role of the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
However, Bill C-2 overlooks another matter, which requires clarification. I am referring to decisions handed down by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal. Were a claimant to take legal action against two government departments, Bill C-2 would not cover all the decisions.
Let us say, for example, that a citizen, or a group of citizens, filed a complaint against the Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada on the grounds that an invitation to tender had been organized in such a way that only one tender could meet the criteria. Were the Canadian International Trade Tribunal to rule in favour of the complainant and determine that there had indeed been misconduct, Bill C-2 would not apply to the decision. This is something that has already happened.
Do you think that Bill C-2 ought to be amended to include Canadian International Trade Tribunal decisions?
