Mr. Chairman, if the minister is required to establish a program, he or she must maintain it. So I have no objection to accepting this friendly amendment stating that the oversight and surveillance program must be maintained. This can be changed. A number of changes can be made in the way this works over time. However, once the program is established, it must be maintained. I would be inclined to accept Mr. Julian's friendly amendment. So I would like to hear from the officials on this.
On May 30th, 2007. See this statement in context.
