Mr. Chair, at the risk of dragging this out, I believe we've heard a number of different testimonies today that have raised grave concerns about aspects of this bill. I think we need some recommendations from international trade lawyers. I think it's also important that we hear from third-party folks who have analyzed the wording of this bill. I think there are some technical issues with regard to this piece of legislation that need to be fully explored.
Therefore, I think it's important that I move my motion to give an extension for the consideration of this bill so that we might be able to do our job in an effective way to ensure that we're protecting the forests sector but that we're not impacting the international trade agreements that we have signed as a country.
My biggest fear is that this bill moves from this place and, for political reasons, gets approved in the House, and becomes legislation, and it impacts far worse the trade agreements as it relates to wood than any benefit that might be realized from this bill.
So that's my concern. I think it's important that we fully explore that and fully understand the impacts this bill may have.
