Thank you, Mr. Chairman. According to tradition, you of course have the right to inform the committee of your opinion, namely whether something is in order or not; however, it is in fact up to the committee to make the decision. Mr. Laframboise will therefore decide whether or not he wishes to appeal the decision, but we can at least say that there are two different interpretations. There is some ambiguity regarding this matter. I think that the committee should take that into account.
I agree with Mr. Laframboise. Although there is some improvement and certain aspects that I'm pleased to see in the wording used in Mr. Jean's amendments, I feel that they are not as effective as the wording use in the Bloc's amendment. I think that is important.
We heard from several witnesses who said very clearly that we had to deal with the issue of noise and every aspect that had an impact on the people living beside these railway centres. So I think that if Mr. Laframboise wants to appeal, we should consider everything, including the Bloc's amendment.
