People from a whole range of backgrounds were involved in these round tables: representatives from NGOs; experts; and the mining and extractive industry. A huge consultation. Consensus was reached on the recommendations contained in the report that was tabled.
To my mind, Bill C-300 constitutes a step in the right direction, a sound idea from a member of Parliament. As parliamentarians, we are empowered to table a private members' bill in an effort to put pressure on the government.
However, Ms. Coumans, you have already pointed out that the bill does not have enough teeth. Is it sufficiently in keeping with the recommendations included in the report issued by the round table?
