Thank you so much.
I really appreciate the dialogue today, because I think that what I'm hearing is really almost a consensus. I know that there were some comments today that maybe this bill isn't the right place because this is already happening. If consultation with labour and consultation around fairness with workers is already happening, then this is the place to put it.
In another bill that I worked on that was on the Canada disability benefit, we extended a lot of trust to the Liberal government. We extended a lot of trust, but at the end of the day, we now can't seem to get the needle to move with the Canada disability benefit because it's not written in legislation.
I think this bill is a good place to put in some language around consultation and what needs to be involved in that consultation. There's been agreement by all parties that this is already happening, but we just want to have it on paper. I think that's good transparency. It's good use of legislation to make governments accountable.
It will be up to the government at any point. They can phase out any time they want to, from now to 2030. We just want to make sure that it's done in consultation with the labour groups.
I'd like to see this move ahead quickly as well, like others on this committee.
