Mr. Speaker, I am going to use my time to point out that the Standing Committee on Industry will have its work cut out for it. As I see it, there are really two different things involved. On the one hand, there are the provisions on deceptive telemarketing, where consensus will rapidly be reached on all the provisions. On the other hand, there are the remaining amendments to the legislation.
Starting immediately, I think the committee will have to take the time required, since it took all these years to come up with proposals that would eventually take the form of a bill. The advisory committee's report leaves many questions unanswered. I asked some, as did others, and according to the people who were consulted, this bill does not enjoy unanimous support, far from it.
Once it is amended, this Competition Act will have to reassure Canadians and Quebeckers. We are going through a period of transformation somewhat like the industrial revolution at the end of the 19th century. We therefore cannot do without a strong instrument.
I therefore ask the parliamentary secretary, who has always been very open-minded, whether he is aware that there are actually two kinds of proposals going to committee.
