Mr. Chair, I'd simply make the comment that unfortunately, because of the restrictions of our process, I don't know if it's even possible to make a friendly amendment to Mr. Scarpaleggia's proposed amendment. We may just have to vote it down and start again.
I agree with Mr. Woodworth, and he doesn't seem to be willing to put forward a friendly amendment, which I would be willing to do. As I understand it, the correct wording would be “Canada shall not deny any resident standing to participate in environmental decision-making or”....
Were the words to “oppose”, or “object to”, or “contest” the standing to appear before the courts? I can't recall, but perhaps the clerk could read out the wording that Mr. Scarpaleggia used.
