In fact, Mr. Chair, I disagree with my colleague. By reversing the sentence, by putting the Minister of Heritage first and proposing that he consult with the President of the Treasury Board, it takes away from the role of the Treasury Board.
The review must be conducted by the Treasury Board, which oversees the act's administration. Remember that amendment CPC‑7, which was passed, gives this authority to the Treasury Board using language such as “the Treasury Board is responsible for” and “shall, in consultation with the other federal departments, coordinate”.
This amendment is contrary to what is now in the bill. I am going to talk about consistency again and repeat that we need to be consistent. We are wasting our time if what we are doing messes up everything in the bill. What we were doing in the beginning no longer meshes with what we are doing today.
I cannot vote in favour of this amendment.
