Let me just reiterate, then, that my intention was not to soften, and in fact I don't see how it does in that wording. You'll forgive me for my linguistic background. I was going to add it, but then it occurred to me that we're talking about the same thing twice, humane methods, and sustainability, and so on. So I thought it would be better to only refer to it once.
My suggestion, Mr. Chair, would be that we defeat this amendment and then we go back to an amendment.... It's not up to the mover to change this motion obviously, but it's up to the committee, and we would have Mr. Byrne make that amendment adding.... I don't know if you'd want to add the whole of what I had there or maybe just “and strongly condemns the ban of Canadian seal products by the European Union”, because we've already referred to those other matters. I think that would be acceptable to us if you want to call the question and get this off the table so that we can get to some more productive work.
