I will make one more small comment: there was nothing ideological about this amendment. I hope my colleagues can explain to me why they voted against the amendment, when there was nothing ideological in it.
The addition that amendment BQ‑3 proposes is a request for money:
(v) federal transfers to the provinces to help them support communities experiencing environmental inequities.
Even though it's about money, I know that's not a problem if the committee is unanimous.
Either we vote against the Bloc Québécois amendment and just talk about fine principles, or we vote for the amendment because we believe we need new public policy, which requires money.
