Besides the fact that I think we're ready to vote on the amendment, the current definition of wrongdoing in the act includes the contravention of an existing act, including the Conflict of Interest Act.
The Liberal Party is proposing two amendments. The first would remove the reference to political interference from the bill, and that would weaken the bill, no matter what members say. The second would include the Conflict of Interest Act. All BQ‑1 does is enhance the bill, since the existing definition in the act includes the contravention of any existing act, including the Conflict of Interest Act.
I'm not sure whether the committee will be able to settle the matter through debate, Mr. Chair, but on our side, we are ready to vote.
