Can I, before we go into committee business, just quickly clarify some things? We are back on my amendment, and I haven't spoken for many meetings now, I feel.
I just want to clarify things based on some of the points that were made today.
All I want to say is that when I moved my original amendment, I did it off the floor, on the spot, without consulting with my colleagues. I had had a conversation with Ms. McPherson about removing that, but in terms of the language, as you know, I didn't come prepared with something to email to everybody right away. I just kind of changed stuff off the floor. I was trying to make minimal changes so that we could come to some kind of agreement. I had not consulted with all of my colleagues on the exact language. I was just trying to put something forward that I thought was going to be constructive at that time.
Anyway, it was unfortunate that at that point we didn't get an agreement. That's all I wanted to say.
