Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, I'd have to offer that I find it frankly quite surprising that Mr. Woodworth would speak against clause 27, given the submissions of the committee. Presentations by him and some of his other colleagues in the Conservative Party have been remonstrating that there wasn't enough detail in the bill.
There are two ways you can present a bill: you can put all the details about every procedural aspect, or you can take an approach where you provide by associated regulations what those procedures might be. That was the choice I made in enacting this.
In fact, by including this provision I'm pretty well giving a blank slate to the government of the day to either expand or constrain the rights and opportunities and duties under the bill through regulations. Of course they'd have to be consistent with the general intent of the bill.
I would just like to close by saying that I appreciated the comments of my colleague.
