During my tenure at the House of Commons and working on legislation, I've often heard a government say that they'll do the details in regulations. When we look at the accessibility act, for example, we brought forward a lot of things that weren't included. Then, when we did the review, we saw that it was brought up at that time but wasn't included.
I think it is important to hear those aspects of, I would say, the details. Maybe it's not appropriate for it to be in the legislation, but I think it's absolutely appropriate to have the conversations so that regulations are created to the benefit of Canadians. At the end of the day, that's what we're here to do—serve Canadians and hopefully make life easier and more affordable for them.
From your perspective, what challenges arise when a program of this scale is established without publicly stating those benchmarks? I used the example of the accessibility act, but regarding this bill, what could be some of the challenges of not being public when having these conversations?
