Mr. Chairman, I can indeed accept my colleague's amendment on a friendly basis, but he must understand that it in no way changes the fact that we will be proposing a ban on phosphorous in laundry detergents and dishwashing detergents.
So our colleague proposes to continue studying the question, on which point I agree since we have not gotten to the bottom of things with regard to a certain number of factors, including the solution with regard to sustainable agriculture. All of us, including Manitoba's Minister of the Environment and Mr. Carignan have said this morning that, if we want, we can act quickly, particularly since substitutions are available. I don't want to cite the Minister of the Environment, but she has said that, when substitutions were available, a ban was possible.
So to the extent that the friendly amendment moved does not change the spirt of this motion, the aim of which is to ban phosphorous in laundry and dishwashing detergents, I will entirely agree.
