Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree with Mr. Don Davies that this is a national public emergency. The evidence says that 40 to 50 people are dying every day. That is the evidence.
We don't want to make this application process so onerous that it takes months to get the application to the minister. As Mr. Carrie says, the minister is going to do what the minister is going to do. Let's streamline the application process so that it gets to the minister faster. Then he or she may decide on the site of the clinic.
I don't think we should be talking about pipelines or anything else. This is an emergency, and we should be dealing with this only.
It was my friends from the Conservative side who were pushing to have this study done and to move it quickly. Now, with these kinds of amendments, they're just throwing these roadblocks in here, so it defeats the very purpose of having this legislation in place.
Thank you very much.
