Sure. The fact that it has to be done in public, that it's for a limited period of time and that it has to be for an explicit purpose....
Oh, I'm talking too fast. I apologize, Madam Chair.
These facts give me some faith that there is public oversight of how those authorities will be used.
My response to you, Mr. Lawton, is that this is exactly the kind of thing committees such as this should dig into. To the extent that there are recommendations through witness testimony that the department or minister hears about or that members of the committee find to be compelling.... This is the forum where we put ideas on the table that can be adjusted through the parliamentary process. I'm a huge believer in the value of Parliament.
If this committee collectively thinks it can add value by better creating a regime around regulatory sandboxes, that's an appropriate function for parliamentarians to play.
