I think we need to be flexible if we want to get through this.
I think that if we refer to a “third party”, it doesn't necessarily include the fact that a union representative, or a House of Commons or Senate committee, could request such a review.
The fact is that with the current wording, decision-making authority rests with the department, the minister or the commission. We would like to extend this authority. That's why we want to propose these amendments.
It strikes me that the best thing for the time being would be to hold discussions behind the scenes. We could set aside section 28 and discuss these matters among ourselves rather than take up too much of today's meeting time. That might lead to a solution much more quickly.
