Mr. Chair, this provision will allow the government to sell federal assets to port authorities, which also includes some federal ports.
Starting with the questions we have and those we could also have asked about the subject, given the impact a decision like this, or legislative changes like these, could have, much more could clearly have been done to study this issue. A number of our concerns have not yet been responded to, either by witnesses or by officials.
I am very happy with the work we have done up to now, but the answers we received raised a lot of other questions.
In the current situation, where we do not have the time to debate or discuss this amendment to the legislation adequately, it will be impossible for us to vote in favour of clause 228, which deals specifically with the acquisition of federal assets by port authorities.
The decision will be different for the rest of the clauses in this division.
