Minister, earlier, you told me that criteria would be included in the regulations. However, you and I know that regulations always come after legislation. Additionally, the proposed amendments to the act are contained in an omnibus bill, which the Senate Standing Committee on Transport and Communications criticized in a report. Indeed, the report notes that “this increasingly common practice limits both parliamentary scrutiny and public debate on measures that would normally be the subject of a separate bill”. The report also notes that the committee would have welcomed the opportunity to hear from you, since you seem to disagree with the committee about its reading of the bill.
As such, would your government be open to amending the bill to clarify the guidelines to regulate the activities of third parties responsible for handling complaints?
