Si le comité permanent de la Chambre des communes devait s'occuper de ces questions, comme le propose l'opposition, nous devrions embaucher une importante équipe d'employés à plein temps qui procéderaient aux consultations partout au pays, engager des dépenses additionnelles pour le gouvernement et veiller à ce que les audiences aient bien lieu.
If it happened that the House of Commons standing committee would deal with those issues as has been suggested by the opposition, we would have to set up a very large portion of full time staff to deal with consultations across the country, with added expenses to the government and to make certain that hearings are held across the country. This has been particularly well set out in Bill C-60.
