Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague from Pontiac for his involvement on this file. We have talked about things that we can do to help his constituents and other issues related to consumer protection.
I have been talking about OBSI quite a bit because of the serious ramifications that could result from the government's inaction on this file. To start to see control being taken away from non-partisan, independent organizations right across the country is truly worrisome. At the end of the day we want to ensure that there is fair, independent resolution for consumers and small businesses. I do not know if we will see that when we start involving partisan decisions. Therefore, we need to ensure we are bringing forward organizations like OBSI.
