In that case, I will make a comment, Mr. Chair.
Personally, I support what the Senate has done, which has really made an interesting space for public participation and greater transparency. In fact, amendment BQ-12 added some clarification.
So I find it disturbing that through amendment G-14.2, the government seems to be chopping away at anything that has to do with information assessment and meaningful participation.
There are organizations that are looking at the science, following the debates, and have expertise. I think we need to recognize these organizations. I am thinking in particular of Nature Canada and Vigilance OGM. Since the McKinsey firm has been recognized, it seems to me that we should also recognize the work of these scientists.
Here is why I will vote against amendment G-14.2. I find it upsetting to put the axe to what the Senate has done, said and written. I remind you that the Senate had more time than we did. I know it was not always easy, but it also heard more witnesses than we did. The bill will go back to the Senate, and if I were there, I don't know how I would react if they crossed out large parts of my work.
