Mr. Chair, I just want to make clear that it was Mr. Richards who proposed the amendment.
I'm looking at the original motion, and I see where your amendment would come in. I have here that with your amendment, everything after “and amend” in the initial motion would be gone. Is that correct?
The amendment you're proposing would read as follows:
That the committee recommend that the government conduct a study to uphold the right of farmers to load producer cars to ensure that Canadian railway companies do not arbitrarily close down producer car loading sites, and take the necessary action.
