Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm pleased to be here. Mrs. Vignola will be with us as soon as possible. She'll be here in a few minutes, I hope. She's on her way back from Quebec City.
Mr. Chair, in the meantime, I'd like to propose an amendment to this motion on behalf of Mrs. Vignola. However, I understand that this is not the time to do so, if I correctly understood the discussion we had. We are currently working on other amendments to remove paragraphs (g) and (h) from the motion. Is that it? That's where we're at.
I'll tell you right now, then, that I'll propose an amendment to this motion, but I'll hold back, and I'll table it when we've completed our work on paragraphs (g) and (h).
Mr. Chair, I would respectfully submit that, in our view, these provisions are unnecessary. In fact, paragraph (g) in particular is unnecessary, and we'd be more in favour of keeping paragraph (h) in the document. Paragraph (g) doesn't seem useful to me at this stage. We won't get into a long debate about it. We'll defer to what the committee as a whole wishes, but, if we have to vote, I'll announce right away that we'll vote in favour of withdrawing paragraph (g) and in favour of retaining paragraph (h).
