Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With respect, I'd like to point out that this particular amendment has a redundancy in it, because committees are the masters of their own destiny. Committees choose their own areas of study. It isn't just in question period that we can have answers. Committees in fact have the ability. They don't require legislation to tell them what they should or should not be studying. There's a redundancy in this particular amendment when it comes to that particular issue.
There's also a concern because it seems to apply a certain onus, and there is commercial confidentiality in many of these cases. It's a very competitive business. Departments have to review confidential information in sometimes very strategic areas. So there's a problem with that particular aspect as well.
Consequently, I would suggest that this is not an amendment we can support.
