Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank my colleague for her participation in this.
Just for the record, while I have the floor, along with my colleagues on the NDP side, we voted strongly against the provisions that were made to allow you to come to committee, because it actually undermines your ability to participate in our parliamentary democracy.
I wanted to hear from our experts on this because my read of it was, Chair, that this could undermine the bill, because if we do put the amendment forward then we'll have, if you will, two kinds of standards in play here. Is that the concern, that the eight-year provision might actually undermine what we already have in the bill as it exists?
