Thank you, Ms. Chair. I just want to respond to that.
It's ironic that we have a member of the New Democrats criticizing us for not supporting what is a very poorly crafted bill. On the one hand, she has said we should respect the specificity of Quebec. Then, when the two members of Parliament who are from Quebec decide to exercise their specificity, she criticizes them for not supporting this very bill. I thought that was a bit ironic.
This is a poorly drafted bill as it presently stands. This bill is going to have repercussions in terms of funding for Quebec. We have a raft of amendments here that are trying to untangle this mess, and those amendments are in fact creating a bigger mess. For that reason, we are not supporting this bill. It's quite simple. It's a poorly drafted piece of legislation, and the amendments are actually making a bigger mess of it. That's why members of the government are not supporting this bill.
