We certainly understand Ms. Chow's intent. The minister has done so in the letter that he sent to her indicating that the regulation will be strengthened by amending the regulations, as Ms. MacNeil mentioned, once Bill C-35 comes into force.
I understand the intent of the direction in which Ms. Chow would like to go, but I think it's important for the committee to understand and accept the fact that there are things that belong within the legislative framework of the bill and there are things that belong within the regulatory framework. I think there is agreement across the board that this should be strengthened, but it should be strengthened through regulation and not through legislation.
