Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the opportunity.
I'm a product of the 2006 election, when the government took office primarily on talking about transparency and accountability. I respected that. That's one of the reasons I ran. I was running against Conservatives, but I wasn't against them on that particular point.
The thing that's concerning when you're new to the justice committee, as I am, is this threshold of 5%. Yes, there's minister after minister who has come before Parliament and its various committees and has said that they were satisfied with how it had been done before.
However, as an example, there is the Insite case, the challenge that followed, and the turnaround that took place. Nobody is sitting here saying that the legislation put in before is completely wrong. What's being asked is for this committee to take a look at it to ensure that it meets the goals. Some doubt has been raised about it, and I think it's worthwhile for the committee, not necessarily immediately, but over a period of time, to take the time to look it over. I would encourage people to reconsider this.
