Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for sharing their experience and knowledge with us. Obviously, it will help us make informed decisions.
Mr. Schaan, you mentioned the fear businesses have with respect to the risks that would result from passing Bill C‑228. You also talked about the bill's complexity.
I would hope that committee members won't let this uncertainty keep them from taking action.
As my colleague Mr. Ste-Marie and several others have said, we've been talking about this for decades. I don't believe businesses would be caught by surprise if a bill like this were to be passed.
I'd like to talk about one more thing.
The risks, complexities and fears of businesses have come up a lot. When it comes down to it, I was elected by the people, and it's them who want to take this risk. They understand the complexity, but they're willing to play the game and see what happens. I, for one, don't believe they are protected right now, but I also feel the bill would protect them.
I hope that we can pass a bill that's to everyone's liking fairly quickly.
