Thank you, Chair.
I will make every attempt to be respectful.
I expect the Bloc to be supporting this because of the way they have voted and spoken to this point. Now, if I am getting indications from my colleagues across the way--which, again, I respect--and they are hinting that they are going to be opposing this, then good on them. But to this point that hasn't happened. I hope that wisdom will prevail, that they will stand up for Quebec, and that they will vote against this.
We are going to have a vote very soon on this motion. The right thing to do is to kill the bill. Who said that? Well, every speaker, every witness that came to this committee, including the Canadian hydroelectricity association.... They were asked if the bill should be amended. They had recommendations, but they were asked if the bill should be killed or should be amended.
Mr. Chair, the blues will show that it was you who asked that question. I think it's a relevant question. Just at the end of their testimony, that's what you asked them: do you want to see this bill amended or do you want to see it killed?
