Do you want me to speak to it?
Mr. Hanger, I can say right off the bat that I've had the opportunity to speak to your legislative clerk and the head of her team before she was assigned to this bill. She told me that especially because of the one-paragraph way in which the bill was formulated, it is very difficult to amend this bill at this stage.
There were many people who in testimony brought in the idea of discretion and the concept of denunciation. Basically this is the way the former Liberal government envisioned this section in the previous Bill C-70, going with some of these elements that under the rules—whether because of those two elements—I'm told will be out of order.
I was also told, and had verified by both her and the head of the department she works in, that any list would be out of order.
I am aware that this is out of order. I would still like to table it for the record for all those people who testified, saying that this is the way they would have preferred to go.
