I appreciate what was shared with us. I want to make it clear that we heard from a number of witnesses that expanding the scope of the bill to include a reference to the Canadian Human Rights Act was in the spirit of what this bill seeks to do. It's for that reason that we put it forward. It was to give marginalized communities, like first nations and others, the tools to fight for their rights based on the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It's in that spirit that we in the NDP put forward the subamendment, and I'm happy to vote for it.
