I don't want to make the list exhaustive, but these are certainly recommendations to the minister where the department has made some signals.
As you were, Mr. Chair, I was lobbied, or at least brought information forward to, to the effect of data protection, which the minister may or may not be proceeding with. I don't believe a case has been made for it at this stage. It's important I think that we put this in the wider context of manufacturing, and that the minister, as he appears, be given as much manoeuvrability to explain the situation for many of us here on that particular issue.
Further to what Mr. Fontana has said, the financial services within the context of manufacturing, within the context of encouraging enterprise within Canada, I think are going to become paramount in terms of the overall benchmarks that this committee is going to want to achieve in a very short period of time, to demonstrate to Canadians that we are dealing with issues that are extremely important to them and very relevant in terms of outcomes.
I think that's one of the governing principles of what this committee ought to be looking forward to, and certainly I will be. In terms of the direction to the minister, the list may very well be exhaustive, but it's important I think now to put these on the record. I note the parliamentary secretary is here. I will certainly want to hear from the minister on data protection.
