I thank my colleagues from the opposition for bringing up these issues. We all know that whatever party is in power, there may be another party in power another day, and whatever discretion is to be limited ought to be limited in accordance with good democratic values. I see where Ms. Sims is coming from.
I have some questions for the departmental representatives here today.
This may be a bit repetitive, but I would like to know what type of report the minister now needs to submit to the House. What is the difference between what my colleagues are requesting in this amendment and what the minister's responsibility is with respect to a report?
