Absolutely, Mr. Chairman.
As I said, I've had the pleasure of enforcing laws and I've been the guy wearing the uniform out on the front line. I've been the guy doing this. If you take a look at the act I have in my hand right now, the Canadian Environmental Protect Act, part 10 is enforcement.
Contrary to the way in which Mr. Godfrey has already misled this committee, clearly here is a part 10 enforcement dealing with the definitions that apply in this part, and they include designation of enforcement officers and analysts: “The Minister may designate as enforcement officers or analysts for the purposes of this Act, or any provision of this Act”.
We have nothing like that. While the wording on the enforcement section might be similar in Bill C-288 to other acts that he is comparing it with, what's missing in Bill C-288 is a designation of enforcement. It's completely missing. It's completely void from this bill, which makes this bill, Mr. Chairman, impotent and completely useless.
