Mr. Chairman, I am speaking to my position and I want to move a motion to that end. You can work it in, because we're running out of time and I don't want to hold up the committee proceedings. I want people to feel comfortable.
I move that clause 12 come into force 36 months, or 3 years, after this legislation comes into force. No doubt, Ms. Stanfield can tell us how to draft this text.
Personally, I truly believe that this is logical. The problem is that we need to talk about it and the department needs the time. Even you, Mr. Reinhardt, told me that the minister was not yet ready. A three-year delay would give him the opportunity to get what he needed. The message we will be sending to people in the industry is that those who have worked hard may continue to do so. Ultimately, we are going to try to accommodate all of this one day. I am aware that these are likely above-average standards and that there is a way to improve the existing system. I am aware that the purpose is to improve the existing system.
The problem with designated organizations is that they are mentioned in a bill dealing with security management systems. This is somewhat problematic for us. I know that security management systems will have improved three years from now and it will be a matter of choosing the designated organizations. That is why I am asking this. If we first vote to have this clause come into force in three years, we could then discuss each of these clauses. I want to discuss both Mr. Bélanger and Mr. Julian's motions. I have no problem with that. Since this part of the legislation will not immediately come into force, we would have some latitude in considering it.
