Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions are still on amendments to part 5, division 6 of the Competition Act.
Having said that, first I'd like to thank the clerk of the committee, Mr. Roger, for getting the commissioner's letter to us so quickly. We have the best clerk of all the House and Senate committees.
Mr. Simard, I expect that a gag order will be issued on the study of Bill C‑59, which would limit the length of our study. We're going to invite the commissioner and representatives of other organizations to appear. We may propose amendments to the bill. After the commissioner and the other witnesses have testified, if you have any additional information for us before we vote on the amendments, send it to us so that we can make a well-informed decision.
I want to come back to the second recommendation, which concerns greenwashing. My colleague Daniel Blaikie mentioned it. A number of organizations are telling us that prohibition of greenwashing products as part of the amendment to the Competition Act should also apply to environmental statements in general made by companies, such as allegations about the sustainability of their operations.
Can you comment on this amendment that could be proposed?
