Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his answer, but unfortunately it is rather evasive. It seems to be full of good intentions and rhetoric, but very indicative of a step backward in the approach.
If I understand what my colleague is saying correctly, the government is looking at how it might improve the Conservative approach by having discussions. However, during the 41st Parliament, the Liberals and New Democrats were united in calling for an ombudsman who would have investigative powers and the power to influence.
Obviously not all Canadian industries promoting Canadian values abroad can be painted with the same brush as being part of the problem. It is a matter of having an important and influential mechanism that can be used for the handful of businesses that are not only making Canada look bad abroad, but are also causing major harm in countries where they are using natural resources.
I will stop here and hope to get a substantive response.
