Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I hope Mr. Ste-Marie can forgive me, simply because I know his issue is very important. I've been advised, though, that it would probably behoove all of us to perhaps start with reconsideration of clause 131. It seems the other day we were making good progress. The exception, as was pointed out by officials, was that the amendment I was going to put forward amended the wrong section. I thank all members for responding back later that perhaps there is some willingness today. I guess I'll test it now, Mr. Chair.
Again, to MP Ste-Marie, it's been pointed out to me that we need to look at clause 131 first before proceeding to some of the amendments that he would like to see happen.
For good process, Mr. Chair, let me just start off by asking the committee for unanimous consent to reopen discussion on clause 131.
