Mr. Chair, I would have to say what a wonderful amendment this is, when you see so many parties basically suggesting the same amendment.
This does not in any way jeopardize the bill. We've had witness after witness here, and we've heard the testimony from the witnesses basically clarifying, at least from their perspective, what the Canadian Bar Association, Professors Roach and Forcese, and others have had to say. They've expressed some concerns. Whether those concerns are 100% legitimate or not, I honestly can't say, but they are concerns.
Sunset provisions like this one, which is worded well, lay out a requirement that Parliament itself will have to look at these clauses in the future. Whoever is here will have to look at what has happened under these particular provisions, which some people have expressed concerns about. They'll have to look at what I would call the good, the bad, and the ugly. They may have to add some and take some away. That, to me, makes sense. It does not jeopardize the bill.
Witnesses have asked us to look at this from that perspective, from a sound judgment point of view. I'd appeal to the government members to be supportive of what is a very reasonable amendment.
