Thierry St-Cyr Bloc Jeanne-Le Ber, QC

Canadians and Quebeckers want us to examine the issue. That should be a priority. If you were against this motion, will have to conclude that it's not a priority for you.

As for the Bank Act, I think this is a red herring here. The measures are ultimately quite minor. That should be done quite quickly. I think the future of our planet should take priority over this kind of act.

Thank you, all members, for your fine interventions.

We are dealing with a motion that has a friendly amendment to change the word “analyze” in the first sentence to “consider”--whatever that translates to, Thierry--and deleting the piece about two sessions before February 23, which is about six sentences down.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
