Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I genuinely find this very fascinating. I have to say I agree with Mr. Caputo that it could very well be that someone sitting on the bench is not familiar and does not have the expertise, but there's always a way around it, as Mr. Caputo has rightly pointed out. That's not the source of my concern.
The source of my concern is the issue that MP Acan has actually identified, which is that, on occasion, given the speed of these challenges, you need to act with alacrity. You need to do it as expeditiously as possible. On that specific issue, I would say that I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Arbour, because, practically speaking, it would take quite some time for this process to play out. There's no doubt in my mind that this would be the case.
The other issue is that in the event that any minister does overstep their authority or does not act on a legitimate basis, the remedy, as Mr. Caputo does know, is that you can bring a claim later, but let's not get into this process of handcuffing the hands of our authorities when there is something imminent that is about to occur.
It's a very interesting debate that's going on, but I would say that practical considerations lead me to believe that perhaps we would be ill-advised to go with Mr. Caputo's amendment. I'm not quite sure how Mr. Caputo sees that.
