We don't have a choice. We have to vote on this. It's either up or down. We've already seen witnesses. We even had this bill in front of committee in the previous Parliament, so it's not something new. If there is an amendment, he should have brought it forward before we had witnesses. I don't think anybody on either side of the table was in favour of this. We're just wasting our time. We can just vote on it on division and refuse it. It's up to the committee, but I don't think we have to debate it. I think we've already addressed this in the past.
