Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
When we read the bill, we were surprised at the content and scope of the regulations. We thought that, if the regulations were examined by parliamentarians, the decision-making process concerning the regulations would be more open, more transparent. It would also be possible to hear from witnesses who would appear on the subject. Other committees have done this in relation to other legislation. These regulations are very important. We see that, in the present circumstances, they are not minor.
The Bloc Québécois believes that it would be appropriate and good practice to take part in the debate and to examine the regulations under this bill together. There is an organization whose purpose is to draft regulations, but its role is more to see to the drafting than to the content of regulations.
I don't know what you think, Mr. McCauley, but it seems to me it would be reassuring for Quebeckers and Canadians to take part in the debate through their parliamentarians, their elected members, and to examine the regulations.
