I greatly appreciate the member’s submissions on third reading of Bill 142. The member for Humber River–Black Creek is truly an excellent parliamentarian, a thoughtful member in this House, and his work on the committee was very diligent and dedicated.

But the act is called the Better for Consumers, Better For Businesses Act—if passed, that would be the title. I appreciate the full support of this bill in second reading, and hopefully on third reading. One of the proposals he makes to his last point is a consumer protection watchdog. Why does the member think that we need yet another oversight branch when there’s already in existence a fulsome mechanism within the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery that is directly responsible for consumer protection and enforcing the law? Because, after all, we don’t want more burdens, red tape and regulation. It’s got to be better for consumers and better for businesses. What is the point of a redundant consumer watchdog?
