Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to debate this bill with the hon. member today.
I actually find it slightly ironic, so I will give a comment and then a question. The member and his party are relying on arguments based on debates in the Senate. They do not support bicameralism. They do not support the Senate. I find it ironic for them to lead with their very vague concerns.
I would like to go back to the issue of accessibility. I would like to inform the member that all Government of Canada regulations are published in both English and French. They are all available online. I have a constituent who is blind, Mr. Ken Westlake. He actually applauds the government for making the website so accessible that he can use low- or no-cost software to go through whatever government documents are there. We should celebrate that in this House.
I have a question for the member. Many of the standards he speaks of are highly technical; for example, electrical codes. I would say that he is a very learned member. I would say that he is very intelligent. However, if I were to present to him a technical manual of such length and detail, the question of accessibility is that only people who are fully trained and versed in that particular narrow technical field could understand it.
I would ask the member for his comments on accessibility at that stage.
