Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for a very interesting speech.
I have two questions for him.
First, in my colleague's constituency of La Pointe-de-l'Île, there is a company that has had problems with Measurement Canada. The appeal processes proved to be truly ineffective, inefficient and flawed, and justice was not done. I wonder if my hon. colleague would be in favour of creating an appeal process for Measurement Canada decisions that is more accessible so that businesses can defend their right to have their say and to have decisions reconsidered. Would an ombudsman be an option?
Second, Bill S-3 appears to grant greater powers to the minister. Is giving the minister more powers in this area a good thing for us, as parliamentarians?
