Well, I'll wait, because I have my comments to ask. But I'm hoping that my colleagues will vote for this. This has been brought to us by organizations. It's admissible under the Treasury Board guidelines.
This committee went through the whole rail act and we put a lot of work into it, especially the opposition amendments. The government was set on not approving any of our amendments when we were doing the rail act. Now, I think this is one of the last amendments here. The minister came forward and said he was very open to our making amendments that made sense and that fit in the act. Up until right now, the government has not entertained any of the amendments from the opposition. This one makes sense, and it's right there. I'm just hoping that the government finally, in good faith, like the minister told them to, looks at some of our amendments. But if they're not, it'll just be a continuum of where the rail act went. We, the opposition, are just wasting our time coming here with amendments when the government is set to denounce them.
I'm jumping the gun, but I'm hoping that the government will see it in good faith. Committees work together, and sometimes an amendment makes sense, especially with the witnesses who came forward. Sometimes the government makes a bit of a mistake, or not quite a mistake, but it didn't hit the target where it should have been. I'm hoping that the government will vote for this amendment.
