Thank you to the member for Humber River–Black Creek for that detailed information about what happens in committee and how informative it is when people present on bills and how changes could be made to strengthen legislation. I particularly paid attention to when you were talking about the consumer watchdog, as you mentioned later in your debate.

My question is, around the table, when the presenters were agreeing with the question, obviously, about the consumer watchdog, what were some of the responses from the government side as to why they’re so set in not passing Bill 122 and providing that consumer protection?

To your point: 30,000 complaints have not been enforced. This government is about enforcing the bad actors—I think a consumer watchdog would help protect that. So what were the members saying about that around the table in committee?
