Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Lethbridge for her very relevant question. I find it interesting to hear her talk about the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, or CRTC, as the organization that could take on those powers, considering that it is not every day that I hear her praise the work of the CRTC.
That said, we are completely open to this type of conversation. Personally, when it comes to the CRTC, I agree in principle. However, we are willing to discuss any more efficient and cost-effective solutions that are presented. I have my doubts with regard to the CRTC, since it is already having a hard time hearing all of the cases on its docket. There is a big backlog. It took nearly three years to just to come up with regulations on levies for streaming platforms, so I would be surprised if adding this task to the CRTC's workload would be more efficient and cost-effective than creating a commission.
That said, I completely agree with my colleague that there is a difference between keeping an arm's length from political influence and operating without transparency. All bodies must be transparent. That is what we expect, and we would expect the same from this commission.
