Madam Speaker, Reasoning · 15 wordsthat would be helpful because we are kind of in the dark at the moment.Claims · 9 wordsWe are being told that regulations will be forthcoming.The question · 49 wordsDo government members already know what will be in the regulations?If they know, why not put that in Bill C‑28?If they think the regulations are not fit to be included in the bill, why not tell us more so we have a sense of the government’s plans?Claims · 62 wordsMy concern here is that we have, on occasion, seen the government make all kinds of program announcements.It announces wonderful things in the budget, and then it takes years for things in the budget to materialize as actual programs.Sometimes the government announces things without knowing what it is going to do or where it is going to go with them.Partly on pointReasoning · 20 wordsIf we had a sense of where it wanted to go, we could work more effectively in committee going forward.
