Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to move to a vote very quickly, although I was persuaded to make a comment.
I find the comments from my new NDP colleague on the committee quite persuasive. We know the results of the vote.
However, I'd like to make an offer to the government members, since they're so concerned about moving this bill very expeditiously, which was introduced prior to Christmas. We'll be here until 7 p.m., and I'd be prepared to move a unanimous consent motion to send this bill immediately back to the House unamended.
You can call me at any time to do that. I don't think I'll get a phone call, because we all know there are very substantive amendments coming to this bill in two areas that haven't been tabled, which is why the bill has being delayed.
The bill has not been delayed because of Conservatives. The bill has been delayed because there are problems with the legislation, and everybody knows that.
The problem with this town is that everybody talks. We know there are substantive amendments coming to the bill, and if you would like to move it unamended, you could take me up on my offer at any point between now and 7 p.m.
Thank you very much.
