I'm trying to synthesize some of the things I've heard. I'm just wondering if an amendment would be in order that would maybe cover some of the concerns.
Where it says, “increase pressure on”, I do have a concern that the message we're sending with those three words is that our government and previous administrations were not doing enough. I agree with Mr. Byrne that there has been a lot done; I don't think we want to send a message otherwise.
So I would suggest that we say, instead of “increase pressure on the European Parliament”, the following: “continue urgent dialogue with the European Parliament”.
I think that's a constructive amendment that would make this a more supportable motion for all parties.
