Mr. Speaker, we obviously agree that it is important to implement modern treaties. Although we support Bill C-10, in a way it is also disappointing that we have had to resort to this measure to ensure that the treaties are properly implemented.
This legislation establishes an office of a commissioner. The commissioner will be able to make recommendations and submit a report. However, this commissioner lacks any real authority. I would like my colleague to explain to me, in practical and technical terms, what the consequences would be for a government if it simply decided to ignore the commissioner's recommendations.
