Madam Chair, this is another amendment that seeks to replace an “or” with an “and” as well as establish a time limit for publication.
I would like to add one thing. In situations like these, which involve automobile safety, can we not all agree that consumer awareness of the facts also puts tremendous pressure on automakers to expedite the process of repairing issues?
By refusing to publish the information within two, three, four, or five days, we are creating conditions where consumers might not find out about the information for six months or, who knows, perhaps even two years.
Let's take the example of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. We have just a few months to write and submit our report, not two years. Things like that do happen, however, even with prescribed deadlines. Imagine what would happen if the legislation did not stipulate a deadline. What a mess it would be.
