Mr. Speaker, I think it is worth saying that there are numerous pages, in the hundreds, within this piece of legislation, and within those pages there are numerous amendments being suggested to our tax laws.
Quite often when we are into the second reading, we want to talk about the broader principle of the legislation and then go into the committee where we have the opportunity to get into some of the line-by-line, clause-by-clause, analysis of what has been changed.
I wonder if my colleague from northern Manitoba would be able to provide some thoughts on the committee stage. How important is it that we reflect on the different clauses and the impact they might have on our tax laws, believing that for the most part they are necessary changes, and that there could even be the possibility of new amendments because it has been a bit of time since it was drafted and brought into the chamber? I wonder if she would reflect on the possibility for amendments.
