Quite obviously, I would like to support this amendment because it is extremely important.
I would like to respond to Mr. Dykstra, who thinks the amendment will dilute the minister's powers. I think it will only define them. We heard testimonies that alerted us and that made reference to concerns about the minister's discretionary power.
I think it is important to consider all these testimonies. We want to limit and define the concept of public interest more specifically. We would also like to define the minister's discretionary powers.
This is just to clarify. I think we wanted to be clear from the beginning. We spoke about improvements and clarifications to be made to Bill C-43. I think we still have that same perspective. It's important that the government can follow our lead with this amendment.
