Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank Mr. Moore as well.
These amendments were put forward by the different parties, including amendments that were put forward by the Conservative Party. As a government, we reviewed them extensively. I think that, from the outset, we've said that we would engage and make sure we accommodate and strengthen the bill as much as possible within the framework of the committee process.
On the subamendments that we've provided, I do want to speak to the one with respect to Mr. Garrison. It stems from the amendment that was already tabled by Mr. Garrison. We feel that the wording we provided strengthens the amendment and the bill overall.
As with Mr. Moore, I know there's an amendment there that we want to work with him on supporting as well. It does work on all three opposition parties that are represented here. We're working in good faith to really strengthen the bill and have it move forward.
Having said that, if Mr. Moore wants additional information on the amendment provided, I can speak to it. I do think that, at the outset, we support in principle the intention brought forward by Mr. Garrison in his amendment NDP-2.1. We have just added language that I believe provides some safeguards on the record-keeping to provide some transparency and ensure that the information that is gathered is not used in a way that is adverse for the individuals. I think it's paramount that we are driven by data.
To your point, Mr. Moore, on the Conservative amendment that will be forthcoming on review, I believe data is so critical to the kind of review that's likely to take place.
It's in that spirit that we brought this forward. I believe that we forwarded the other ones, which I'll speak to separately, with the intention of strengthening the bill.
