Mr. Chairman, I don't understand the government's argument. It's quite true that this is not included in the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development's current mandate, but she is an officer of Parliament and members of Parliament can certainly decide to give the Commissioner whatever mandate they so desire.
It may not be part of the Commissioner's mandate now, but if parliamentarians decide that it should, then it can certainly be added. I believe that is the whole purpose of this bill, and it is perfectly legitimate to propose this kind of amendment. No? I think he has a question.
