It's a friendly amendment and it is accepted. It has been removed. Is everybody in agreement with that?

James Moore Conservative Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam, BC
Sorry. I have one other friendly amendment, in all sincerity here. It says, “That the minister come before the committee on May 10, 2007”. We haven't had the opportunity to consult. We don't want another situation where the committee says the minister doesn't want to come and all that nonsense. The minister wants to come. Simply strike the date of May 10 and make it that he will be here before the end of this session.
