I'd just like to express my opinion on the matter.
We have to make a choice. We can send the bill back to the House to be defeated, or we can express, through Mr. Oliphant's motion, the concerns raised by certain witnesses and members of this committee regarding its content and instruct the government to respond in one way or another. The general message that needs to be sent, in my opinion, is that the current situation cannot simply be allowed to continue. I would hope that the government will take note of this.
It's certain that, if we simply send the bill back to the House to be defeated, we won't have the opportunity to send this message to the government. Mr. Oliphant's motion gives us a golden opportunity to do just that. With all its qualities and faults, this motion is the best option we have to make our point.
