Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm sorry. I was just trying to save a bit of time to get back some of the time that's been filibustered by the NDP members on this committee. I love that. At least he understands what he's doing.
Anyway, the amendment here is to amend clause 4 by replacing line 20 on page 3 with:
that is more consistent across Canada, in order to avoid a patchwork of care;
I believe it's absolutely important that we address the inconsistency in coverage that already exists in the Canadian context. This bill, as it is currently written, doesn't necessarily deal with that piece. Therefore, this is part of the amendment, which I think is a very common-sense amendment, and I would urge all of my colleagues to vote in favour of it. This will strengthen the legislation and help remove the patchwork side.
