I'll speak to that, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
The purpose of this amendment is really quite simple. It would require the minister to table in the House a report specifying how any measure taken under sections 202 and 203 would be of net benefit to Canada, and also what the possible impact of those measures would be on Canadian businesses and communities, including the expected return on investment.
This is in keeping with the theme of many of the NDP amendments today, which is to try to hold the government to a greater degree of accountability—something they used to take seriously.
