Of course, you don't have to answer that.
At any rate, the point is that it's a statement for us, and it's a statement for Parliament to be in there. I think it's a reasonable approach that we take here with this, and if there are any other suggestions on how to deal with this, then I would be open to that.
The reality here, however, is that if we take a pass on this, we also take a pass on the enforcement provisions and the oversight necessary. We won't be able to point to a specific law that says a corporation should actually be looking at this. We'll have to point to a regulation and a regulatory body. It's a disenfranchisement of the power of authority that gives an opportunity for Parliament and the minister to have their voice—at least in a stronger sense—put forth in a model being proposed that's very weak to begin with. It's one of the weakest models in the world, comply or explain, and it's a model that's shown to have had the least amount of results. That's the reality we're faced with here.
I want to proceed with this to get the change that's necessary, so that we at least have a Parliament that says something. We've seen what's happening internationally with legislation passed specifically on these things. That we're not even going to include a voice on this is, I think, highly difficult to accept in a modern age.
I'll leave it at that for now if we proceed at this point in time, but I just can't believe we are at this point where we have a specific piece of legislation that defines this in a particular way passed in the House of Commons by a majority Liberal government, and now those members are going to vote—I guess, if they don't support this motion—against what they actually voted and spoke for in the House of Commons months ago. That's the reality at the end of the day. I don't understand that.
I will leave it at that, and thank you very much.
