Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to acknowledge Mr. Villemure's openness to considering my proposed amendments.
There's a difference between recommendations and the committee's satisfaction. If it isn't appropriate, we'll express our disagreement with the government's actions. I'm asking that we find a way to address the significant concerns raised in Mr. Villemure's motion. If I understood Mr. Brassard correctly, these concerns are shared by all committee members.
If the committee is satisfied that the data is de‑identified and that there isn't any impact on the personal data of Canadians, it should say so. We don't want to dwell on the review of the report. If we're satisfied, we should say so in the House of Commons. However, it goes both ways. If we aren't satisfied, we won't give our approval. That way, the government won't need to return to work on the issue.
Mr. Villemure is a philosopher and an ethics specialist. Could he explain the difference between... I don't see any difference between our proposals. My proposed amendment says that the committee needs the House of Commons' approval or non‑approval to determine what will be done.
I hope that the committee is satisfied with my proposal. I'm making it in good faith so that the work can move forward in an efficient manner.
