Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to congratulate Mr. Housefather for his efforts. As always, he is trying to find a compromise that is acceptable to us all. We also intended to propose an amendment to try and find common ground.
Consequently, much as my colleague Mr. Shields did at the last meeting, I would like to ask whether it is possible to take five or 10 minutes for my party colleagues and myself to discuss Mr. Housefather's proposal. We could then compare it to the one we wanted to introduce ourselves and see whether any small amendments to it are appropriate.
I am not confirming anything right away, but I sincerely believe that we could find some common ground. I would like the members of our party to have some time to consult together before expressing an opinion on it.
