Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I guess there are two things.
One is that I do think that this amendment sets out some good accountability measures, and I hear the department's concerns about setting strict timelines. Again, I want to remind the committee that it says that if they determine that the proposed regulation or instrument can't be developed in that time, it just means that they're publishing the reasons.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this debate, I have an alternative motion that I think is a little bit less stringent. It's not my preference, but if this doesn't pass, I have an alternative proposal that I hope will be agreeable to folks around the table.
