Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good day to you all.
My colleague has mentioned that clause 11 already provides for representation on the council. However, as people who have worked with me on other committees will attest, I am fond of saying that you cannot be too careful. It is always better to have more than less and to be cautious.
This amendment is about avoiding too much interpretation of the bill's clauses and allowing all the stakeholders of the sector to participate. I think that we would be in a stronger position if we consulted representatives from all parts of this sector.
I believe this amendment is worth supporting. That said, I do not understand why the government is digging its heels in. We are cautious when selecting the members of various committees. I think it is important to define this. It would be an added layer of protection for us.
