I'm not opposed to the government's reviewing the act. I think I was part of the ethics committee when we recommended this in the first Parliament I was part of in 2015-19.
However, to Mr. Villemure, I'd ask this: Isn't this a bit of a moot point and a waste of time? Isn't the government just going to come back and say what they said in response to the last report we're reviewing? Wouldn't it be more effective to put it, consistent with the evidence of the commissioner, in a short report and hammer home that we've done this many times, cite those many times, and say that we're asking for it to be updated, not only reviewed? It seems like this is a weaker version of what we could potentially do.
