Mr. Speaker, the problem I am having with this is that the government seems to suggest that public hearings are for listening and not for responding. Simply holding public hearings, for other levels of government, means that people get to actually have an impact on a decision. However, when it comes to parliamentary hearings, when it comes to committee hearings, simply running out the clock and presenting a series of statistics on how many hours, how many meetings, or how many minutes of debate were held somehow constitutes a democratic process.
Can the minister highlight one change, a single change, to the bill that was accomplished through the public hearings the government conducted?
