Thank you.
I guess the question really relates to what's currently on the table with Building the Canadian Advantage as compared to Bill C-300. I think that's what it comes down to.
I just think the current bill is not workable. I don't know how you could even make amendments to make it workable without having to make drastic changes to the bill and make it a completely new bill. If you're talking about putting in some form of counsellor or ombudsman, you'd have to frame that in terms of abilities to do certain things. Of course, there would be expenditures relating to that, which you can't do with a private member's bill.
Fundamentally, the way the bill is now, having the complaints go to a minister under that whole process--that part's not amendable, from our point of view. We are completely against that.
In terms of Building the Canadian Advantage, which is what the government has put on the table, we think it's a very workable situation. It's a good start. It provides lots of other things besides the counsellor. It talks about centres of excellence and about programs to build some of the capacity within the countries where some of the Canadian companies are operating.
From our point of view, Building the Canadian Advantage is a far better approach. We think it will result in better practices. It will be better for the industry and better for CSR standards.
