Now that we have agreed on the friendly amendment, I just wanted to ask the clerk what the difference is between just tabling.... I agree with MP Barlow that we should not tie our hands with a study immediately, because a lot of things could happen between now and January. We are living in turbulent times with both the climate and trade. I agree that we shouldn't tie our hands.
If we table it and say we will study it, is it cast in stone or could we always move it? I like to plan ahead. That's the way my mind works. I like to have a plan for the whole session, but I totally want flexibility as well.
I just want to know what the difference is between tabling it and adopting it today, because there's agreement that this is an important topic, but there's also agreement that we should be flexible if something else comes up. My preference would be to adopt it today, but only to the extent there's flexibility. If there's no flexibility, then I agree with John.
