Mr. Speaker, I spoke about it for about 20 minutes already. I do not know what else I could say.
Let us move away from the agreement, and I will talk in general terms about what we need. I want to come back to my bill, C‑251. Hopefully, if it does come back to the House, the Conservatives will support it. That would be much appreciated. It would also allow us to regain the trust of the Americans, since we would have a piece of legislation that is common or similar across North America. I think that would go over very well. I have often talked about it with U.S. elected officials, who told me that it was a good idea and that they hoped it would pass.
Aside from that, I think we need a real ombudsperson. I have always felt that having the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise is not enough. My preference is for a truly independent commission of inquiry that does not just wait for complaints.
However, if the current ombudsperson, since one already exists, could at least have the power to compel witnesses to testify and documents to be produced, we would have a tool that actually has teeth.
