—or a roll call, I should say.
Mr. Chair, I do think there are a lot of issues. The Conservatives will not be voting in favour of MP May's amendment. As I said, our attempt in the previous amendment to have experts brought into the Governor in Council process we believe allows for a better process that way, rather than just relying.... Again, we're just going to have to disagree on that, but we believe that structurally, it does deal with a lot of the concerns that the advisory board would only be subject to one minister and their inner circle.
We've been disappointed that the minister, contrary to his initial speech at second reading on this bill.... I did ask him about the advisory panel, and he said he would work with all parties, and then he decided to pre-empt and put his so-called advisory panel forward. There are still questions in my mind from his testimony before us at the estimates. He says that he wants to work with all parties and then he puts forward a group that I would say is controversial, just in terms of viewpoints.
We've seen many say that they don't believe there's any future whatsoever for oil and gas. I also would say that even the Canadian Institute for Climate Choices put out a report showing that there are over 60 different pathways that it has modelled out for net zero, and there are different scenarios. There could be vibrant oil and gas, but there have to be certain investments made in negative emission technologies, and so on.
There's so much going on in this space that I think, again, to not allow a broader process where different ministers at the cabinet table can draw in those experts, as was put forward in CPC-12, means that we are missing the boat and not receiving the expertise that this whole country offers. One minister in their Rolodex—I can see why that is not working for Madam May. I appreciate Madam Pauzé's intervention to explain it a little bit further. It does seem that unfortunately....
I'm glad to see that other members of the opposition are looking to debate this because the government as well as the NDP have been very much silent on some of these things. I think that these proposals do deserve some debate, so that we have a better understanding and so that the people at home who are watching can judge for themselves who is acting and who's bringing forward real ideas to make this bill better.
Thank you.
