Paul Forseth: I agree with you that the term “best interests” has been certainly left in a fuzzy, undefined manner.
After some of the testimony we've heard, it would be helpful to perhaps even list some qualifiers in the act that would indicate not necessarily an endless list of what would mean and constitute “best interests”, but something to try to define that in law a bit to give some direction.
Paul Forseth: Your sub-statement really is that you're looking for equity and fairness and reasonableness and all that, yet you're saying it's not so much the law but those who apply the law.

"It's the same kind of logic," Paul Forseth from New Westminster-Burnaby said as the House of Commons began final reading on Bill C-71, the anti-tobacco legislation.
Forseth offered his metaphor after a series of Bloc Québécois MPs echoed the tobacco lobby's warnings that the section of the bill restricting cigarette ads at sponsored events could lead to the loss of these events and the jobs they provide.
But Reform MP Grant Hill, an amateur race-car driver, said it is "specious" for cigarette-makers and Bloc MPs to claim that the bill will kill international auto races and other sports events in Canada, because similar restrictions on tobacco sponsorships are being adopted worldwide.

Forseth said if Radwanski failed to tell the revenue department at that time that he already had the job and what his salary was, "it undermines and invalidates'' the tax-forgiveness deal.
