Good. Thank you.
I think it's important that we have an opportunity to review and approve it, to explain to the Speaker how we ended up where we are. I've gone on at length trying to express my concerns about Bill C-377, that I believe it's a poorly written bill; that we heard from witness groups, including Mr. Layton himself, saying the bill needed to be costed; and we heard from witness groups that it would not withstand a constitutional challenge. The bill has serious problems, and the number of amendments that were tabled by the opposition basically rewrote the bill, or attempted to rewrite the bill.
Mr. Cullen is not with us today. Mr. Comartin is here. I want to welcome him. I appreciate the intent, and I'm trying to send the bill back to the House. It's unfortunate that Bill C-377 ever came to this committee the way it was written, and sending it back to the House now, I think, is the appropriate measure.
Thank you.
