Proposed paragraph 4(1)(a) says that they will “hold an open application process that allows members of the public to apply to the Minister to become members of the Council”, so it's not going to be a government unilaterally imposing the desire of Canadians on this monument; it's going to be people.
What kind of people? Look at that. Proposed paragraph 4(1)(b) says that we're going to “select from among the applicants at least three and at most five individuals to be members of the Council”. These are Canadians, but for people to be eligible, they have to “possess a strong interest in, connection to, or familiarity with the Holocaust”. Otherwise, they will not be eligible.
I read every single part of those two sections. First of all, if they are out of scope, I don't understand why, but even if they are, they certainly fall in place with what is necessary in order to perfect an imperfect bill and to give what the House voted for, which was unanimous support to get a Holocaust memorial and monument built.
That is what we need to do, and we need to put aside the politics and start looking at reality. We need to perfect an imperfect bill.
