Well, I think we're getting into discussions that lead nowhere.
I can assure you that the number of amendments in Bill C-2 have demonstrated a good working relationship among all the parties, even though it was spirited at times. It's a priority for us. Bill C-2 is our priority, but we have to still be cautious in terms of the legislation we bring forward.
If you had wanted, we could have had an Information Commissioner's act. We could have said, these are the suggestions for what we would change. We could have asked what the committee thought about it, and we could have you given two weeks to make a decision. I don't think it's the appropriate way to proceed, because the first thing you would have said is that we were restricting the area of inquiry that the committee should be looking at by suggesting these are the only issues. Secondly, by putting a time limit on it, you'd say that we were interfering with the privileges of this committee.
I know that no matter what decision I made, I would have made the wrong one. But I can tell you that I believe the decision we made with respect to bringing the discussion paper here is the best decision. We are committed to moving this matter ahead.
