I appreciate your diligence, Mr. Chair, but I still want to challenge your decision on this, just as a matter of principle.
Clearly the witnesses who were brought forward by the proponent of this legislation were very adamant that this was not about the end use of the horses but about the safety and welfare of the animals. I think the misdirection of this legislation is what frustrates us.
For that reason alone, I want to challenge the decision and put it to a vote.
