“We introduced this bill to help consumers and make life more affordable. It will also protect trade in Canada. I want to send it to a committee. I am asking if the Conservatives have any specific changes they want to make to it.”
“Mr. Speaker, consumers and the issue of affordability is the primary motivation for bringing the legislation forward and looking at what the Senate has done. I welcome the opportunity to see the bill go to the standing committee where some of the questions can be posed and concerns can be expressed. I do believe in the importance of the legislation and how it would protect trade and commerce here in Canada. Does the member have some specifics already that the Conservative Party is looking at bringing forward in the form of amendments, or is it just more of a general comment at this point in time?”
