Mr. Chairman, the honorable member has just summarized all the recommendations for reform made over the past 20 years. What he said is absolutely exact and correct.
In my second Annual Report, I stated that the government should follow-up on those recommendations and get to work. I believe that this type of legislative reform can only be launched by a minister, a member of the executive council. It will require investments from the government and there will be costs. As far as we are concerned, only the government can do this.
The efforts of Mr. Martin, of Mrs. Lavallée and of simple MPs--and I say this with respect-- are certainly laudable but, I believe, cannot lead to a modernization of this Act without some initiatives based on new investments.
