If I may, Mr. Chair, it is an obligation. The minister has a program in place. We're simply suggesting through the Bloc amendment and the NDP amendment, which is similar, that this is something that has to be maintained. My sense of the amendment is that it is very much in order. It maintains that obligation, which is the concern we've heard from witnesses as they've come to this committee. They've said that in theory SMS would work if in practice we have that oversight.
Those are the principles that have been brought forward to this committee, that we're not taking away or detracting from safety programs. I think that's the effectiveness of the Bloc amendment. It puts that front and centre as an obligation that the minister has.
