Mr. Chair, I would respectfully disagree with my colleague. My colleagues who sit on the government committee here are solely using the point that this legislation does not require a five-year review because the committee is master of its own domain. By the same logic, the health committee should be able to look at the issue contained in Bill C-14, yet the government has stated that it is material enough to require a review in five years. I respect the fact that the government.... I'm not sure what they would have to hide, or why they would vote against a five-year review, especially in light of the Auditor General report that we saw today on instances of fraud being not detected within the Department of Citizenship and Immigration.
I find my colleague is perhaps grasping at straws to justify his logic.
