We were aware that certain clauses had to be amended so that a royal recommendation would not be necessary. All the clauses and amendments we have made have been studied very carefully by the legislative clerk.
Now you're telling us that, if a public servant decides to go before the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal, that results in additional costs, so the royal recommendation is necessary. However, the legislative clerk didn't raise the issue at any time. We've asked him that question many times.
I don't think it's up to the legislative authority to take away Canadians' right to go to the tribunal to assert their rights. Basically, that's what's being proposed. If we were to reject clause 15 and the others related to it, it would be as if we were telling people that, in the end, they don't have the right to go to the tribunal, because their case has already been studied and rejected. It would be a violation of people's right to justice and their own desire to use this tribunal. I don't understand how we could allow that.
