Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague on the other side of the House. She mentioned in her speech how the Auditor General has called for these changes. She spoke about the Certified General Accountants of Canada who have called for the bill, have welcomed it, applauded it and in fact endorsed it. I am glad members on the other side are listening to that advice and will be supporting the legislation.
I just want to clarify this for the purpose of debate. The bill was tabled in November. The minister and the department offered in-depth briefings to any member of the House with respect to any section of the bill. In fact, the committee will be starting a pre-study on the bill tomorrow morning. We would love to have the bill passed by this chamber. Perhaps the member would comment as to why, when the NDP is supporting the bill, it is putting up so many speakers here rather than allowing the bill to be sent to committee.
Second, she says it does not contain all of the amendments that it should contain. Could she deposit with the House or with the committee what specific amendments the bill should be addressing? Perhaps she could address in her answer today what, specifically, should be in the bill that is not in the bill.
