Mr. Chair, you know that I appreciate the work you do, but in my humble opinion, if the amendment was inadmissible, that should have been said at the outset, not two and a half months later. On April 10, the amendment was adopted as it stood by all committee members.
I don't know how many of you have managed to read and analyze the 6,900 or so documents. Personally, I'm a fairly fast reader but I haven't finished my analysis, so I'd venture to guess that most of us haven't.
I feel it would be quite premature to decide to create a subcommittee. In my experience, we'd run the risk of going round in circles instead of ensuring that Indigenous businesses really benefit and don't become front companies for other businesses.
