I'm sorry, I'm not finished. That amendment related to the words used.
About the motion itself, I agree with it for three reasons. First, one can't be against virtue. We hear a lot of talk about transparency, with good reason. It is essential. Second, this will lead, I hope--and I referred it to it when we discussed Canada Post--to equal treatment. Obviously, I'm referring here to equal treatment of bidders. I mentioned it during our last meeting. When there is a competitive bid, property owners from both sides of the river who want to rent or sell to the government want to be able to participate. When I look at the situation about which we've received lots of information, I believe it will be necessary at some point to do a study. If we operate in this manner, there will be less need in the future to carry out studies about the past. We would be protected, and taxpayers would be protected.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
