William Stevenson Conservative
“This bill sets goals, but it leaves all the details to a commission instead of having Parliament oversee them. I want the member to explain how the bill actually does what he claims it does.”
“Mr. Speaker, I heard a lot in my hon. colleague’s speech. He said that the act would this and that, but from my understanding, it is the goal of the act to do those things while leaving a lot to the commission to figure out how to actually get there. Maybe the member can explain to me how he sees the bill doing these things, rather than setting goals for the commission to do them without parliamentary oversight once the legislation leaves here.”
