Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would not want the committee to believe that I will necessarily support the NDP motion, but it seems that the wording of the motion is in order. In fact, the possibility of establishing a fund does not directly create the fund. It seems to me that the NDP considered the issue from several angles and made sure that the amendment was appropriate and in order. I do not want to go into detail, but I think that the NDP worked on the proposal to make sure it was in order. We are not saying that the governor in council will have to create this fund; that would only be an option.
