Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the officials for being here.
I was struck when the minister, in his opening comments, referred to this as a bill to make sure that no “bad actors”—I think that was his direct language—would come into Canada, and he also later on commented that the bill aims to be “precise”.
I'm wondering if someone could comment as to.... Is the overall intent of this bill to be the...? I find those terms at odds with each other.
Can you comment? Is the goal to be more precise and more prescriptive, or is it to increase the amount of latitude given to a minister?
