Mr. Speaker, I will have the opportunity to make a speech a little later today to convey my feelings about the bill.
I myself am fairly satisfied with this bill. The result is a real improvement, and everyone left committee satisfied. It was not one of those compromises where everyone was a little angry. All the participants believe that this is a good bill.
However there is one question that concerns me, and that is everything that is left in the regulations. That will be the subject of my question to the minister.
The legislation includes certain criteria and a mechanism that allows the minister to establish a list of designated countries. But there is nothing in the legislation explaining how this list will be periodically reviewed, or what would prevent a country from staying on the list indefinitely simply because no one has done a review.
What does the minister intend to put in the regulations in this regard?
