All right. So we'll go with the singular word “examination”.

Okay.
The Minister shall ensure that, for each particular sector, all persons designated under subsection (1) are trained and qualified in the same manner, and that all examinations made by these persons are conducted consistently.

Just so I understand, this is the subamendment by Mr. Lake, correct?

Mike Wallace Conservative Burlington, ON
Yes. On the amended motion, I'll be voting against it. I don't care if it's recorded or not. The reason is that I didn't get a compelling reason for us to do it. I think it's adding bureaucracy we don't need.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Dan McTeague Liberal Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
I would go one step further and say you don't need the bill at all, Mr. Lake, Mr. Wallace. So we can all pack it up and leave well enough the way it is.
Conservative
Mike Wallace Conservative Burlington, ON
I find it inconsistent that an individual who spends much of his time criticizing the oil industry and the gasoline industry every week says we don't need this bill. I think this bill is important, and I don't think we need the added bureaucracy.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

That invites the comment that many people in Burlington look at the site I provide for them. My information is probably a lot more useful than that comment. Actually, I'd put that to a test to the member of Parliament in the next election.

Dave Van Kesteren Conservative Chatham-Kent—Essex, ON
I'm going to put in my two cents. We do need this bill. This is a bill that's been presented by the bureaucracy. These are people who are experts in their field. I think they've done a good job, and we're nitpicking on areas that we shouldn't be touching.
I agree indirectly with Mr. Wallace, but I'll be voting against this because I think this whole procedure is wasting an awful lot of time. This bill should pass.
