Thank you, Chair.
I will be splitting my time with my colleague Ms. Jansen.
Welcome, Minister Ali, department officials and the deputy minister.
Hidden in the BIA were changes that would allow ministers to exempt nearly any company, person or entity from any federal law except the Criminal Code. I'm perhaps following up on some of the questions that my colleague Ms. Gaudreau had.
What is the point of having a Parliament pass laws when ministers can just give connected insiders exemptions from those laws?
