Your question is what importance do we attach to these...? These are bills that have had the support of the opposition parties in committee. We believe that since there are opposition members on this committee as a majority, that should be part of what goes into the making of the budget, which is to recognize that these flow from international commitments and they flow from the needs in Canada.
They have the support of the majority of members of the House, at least as reflected in the committee and in certain votes in the House. We believe they should be seen as priorities for financing by the standing committee.
