Mr. Chairman, as much as I applaud the effort by the Bloc to recapture the importance of the reporting mechanism, it still has to go to the minister. We have made him responsible. His responsibilities are also to receive the reports. If we say it comes directly to this committee, then we are absolving him of the responsibility we have accepted. He cannot delegate.
So perhaps, with all due respect, my Bloc colleagues would amend it a little differently. I propose, for example, that:
The Council shall submit an annual report to the Minister and to the Transport Committee.
And whatever is the appropriate translation. Then I think his intention and the propriety of the process would be well served.
