First, on the consultation on the bill, I've been through other bill consultations in the past, and this was nowhere close to the same standard. If we go back to 2007 and the enactment of Bill C-11, we were highly included and contacted directly by Transport Canada. That is not the case here. I'll be honest, I don't spend all my time tracking the newspapers. But government to government, we have a very strong and proactive relationship. Frankly, the first time I heard about this was at second reading.
On February 17th, 2011. See this statement in context.
