Thank you, Chair.
First of all, I want to clearly say that I am not trying to stall the bill, and I think it's unhelpful for Mr. Julian to malign the intentions of the Conservatives here. We're trying to improve the bill. We've expressed our concerns numerous times, and that's what we're trying to do.
Now, case in point, Mr. Ripley has actually said that in order to apply clause 6, they will have to do some kind of revenue level, and that will be done in regulations. So this concept is going to happen. It's just a question of....
First of all, I don't like it when the Governor in Council determines in regulations with no parliamentary oversight what the thing is, so I'd rather have it in the legislation. I believe that in Australia they had the same thought pattern and they did define something and created a list of who those people are, which they've made public. This has merit, but I do respect what Mr. Housefather said. He always brings his law experience to the table. I do see the point in making sure it's not a loophole that people can crawl out of.
I would be open to the concept of amending this amendment with a subamendment saying that the revenue was generated in Canada, so then people couldn't move it around the world. I don't know whether that would be palatable to the members opposite.
Thank you.
