Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank Mr. Vaughan for finally having introduced Ms. Lockhart's motion. I don't know if you know this, Mr. Chair, but I too submitted a similar motion. Is the member ready to accept an amendment?
A few days ago, the minister announced that he would be voting against the NDP motion, and a certain number of days have passed since then.
The minister went down to the lobby and said that he was going to be voting against the NDP motion, announcing that there would be consultation for the next 30 days. We've gone through quite a few days, and there are 18 days days left for consultation. Would you be open to amending the motion? Time has passed since the government announced consultations, and there are only 18 days left. We all acknowledge the urgency of action on diafiltered milk.
