Randy Boissonnault

Madam Chair, that's a fine job, but I wonder whether it's too broad and far-reaching. I'm not sure how we could bring their sports back.

I have a question for Mr. Casey. As well-intentioned as it is, does this go beyond the scope of what you originally intended?

12:55 p.m.

Bill Casey Liberal Cumberland—Colchester, NS

It does. My scope was very focused on helping first nations reacquire, or acquire, their artifacts. That's all it was.

Randy Boissonnault

It's simply an amendment to make sure the minister provides details to the House on what's currently happening and what efforts are under way. That's an important addition to this bill.

The Chair Liberal Julie Dabrusin

I want to make a note before we go further that if LIB-5 is adopted, CPC-5 cannot be moved, as they amend the same lines.

Is there any discussion about LIB-5?

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Go ahead, Mr. Boissonnault.
