Bill C-2 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Our position is that we believe that this was done with the best possible intentions to include the crown corporations, to include the officers of Parliament, but they must be included in such a way that there is really an advantage to their inclusion and so that we don't end up with a sum-zero game.

Bill C-2 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Perhaps I could attempt an answer. I think it's an interesting question, and Commissioner Reid, if I understood his position correctly, in fact does not believe that the power to compel is a requirement. If I have understood this, he feels satisfied that he's able to appeal to the Federal Court in order to move the matter forward, where required.
