“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Abbotsford—South Langley for his great presentation today. In his speech, he talked about the discretion given to the government and how once the clock starts, the authority or regulator can stop that clock if it is told to by the minister. However, proposed subsection 19(4) of the bill allows the authority to say that we need another study and another study, until it deems it as complete. This gives unfettered discretion to the bureaucracy, which could simply keep asking for more information and not deliver the “one year, one review” promise that the government purports to support.”
