Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question that deserved to be asked.
Within the next six months is a perfect time and it does work out. What I do not like is using a cookie cutter approach, taking something from the United States and implementing it in Canada. I want to make sure that was clear. Obviously, this would not be doing that. It would be taking the consultation that is being done in the finance and industry committees, as well as in the Senate, and making sure we conduct a thorough study. By knowing what is going on, we can better put together legislation that would protect Canadians while understanding what is true to us.
All too often what happens is we as Canadians get information or stuff thrown at us that was developed in different countries and we try to modify it. The fear I had and one of the things I wanted to make clear is that we not bring something forward that was developed elsewhere and put it in place here. It is something we have to develop as Canadians. We can use the foreign one as a model and ensure that we study and understand it and know what is working and what is not working.
One point I wanted to make is that down in the United States this is not a proven model. To say we will implement it is not the right thing to do. The hon. member was correct. What we need to do is take a solid look at what we have in Canada, put it together and make sure it reflects the reality of Canadians.
