I spoke to Mr. Byrne about this the day before yesterday.
I wonder if you would consider an amendment to the motion to make it a little bit more plausible, at least for this side. I have that amendment, if I could put it into the record:
That the following be reported to the House at the earliest opportunity: Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans recommends that the government reconsider its decision to discontinue funding to the Canadian Centre for Fisheries Innovation, recognizing its mission to make available to the fishing industry the largest and best-equipped body of experts in fisheries-related science and technology in the country for the benefit of the industry's long-term competitiveness and sustainability.
It's very hard for us on this side, obviously, to accept the motion as it now stands, but I think this is a motion that I, at least, could live with.
