Bloc

Gabriel Ste-Marie Bloc Joliette, QC

I have already moved my motion, but Mr. Beech can use the one minute to say something before the vote.

I am sorry about Mr. Blaikie.

Liberal

Terry Beech Liberal Burnaby North—Seymour, BC

Yes, Monsieur Ste-Marie, I can endeavour to find adequate answers for you that might not be so time-consuming of our officials.

If you can leave this with me for right now, we can let Mr. Blaikie have his time and I can come back to you with something that meets your needs without necessarily having us go through this debate right now.

5:30 p.m.

Bloc

Gabriel Ste-Marie Bloc Joliette, QC

All right.

I therefore temporarily withdraw my motion and leave the floor to Mr. Blaikie.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

Thank you, Mr. Ste‑Marie.

We are going to go to MP Blaikie for 30 seconds.

MP Blaikie, you can make a statement and then we're going to end this meeting.

5:30 p.m.

NDP

Daniel Blaikie NDP Elmwood—Transcona, MB

Thank you very much.

I was going to ask for an explanation of the practice of coupon stripping and how the legislation attacks that, but I suspect that 15 seconds will not be enough for officials to provide a response. Maybe I'll also look to Mr. Beech for a proper response to that question.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

All right. Thank you, MP Blaikie.

To our witnesses, we want to thank you for your patience through all of this. Thank you for your many answers, and those that you will give for the questions that the members posed for you to respond to at a later time with whatever information you are able to find.

Thank you very much, everyone. That concludes our meeting.

We're adjourned.
