After the success of the last amendment, I will press on, Mr. Chair.
This amendment comes from the wonderful MP for Cowichan—Malahat—Langford, Mr. MacGregor, who sat on public safety up until the spring.
Ensuring accountability in this bill is very important. What the proposal would do is amend the bill in clause 72 to state that:
The Minister must provide a copy of the report to the Chairperson and must cause a copy to be tabled in each House of Parliament within the first 15 days on which that House is sitting after the Minister receives the report.
This ensures accountability, of course, to Parliament, which I think we would all agree with. Because Mr. MacGregor was part of the initial hearings and heard the importance of accountability in this legislation, he is making this recommendation through me.
I move NDP-56.
