Thanks very much, Chair.
As you might say in politics, wow, that was a bit rich, given the fact that Mr. Julian's original motion, NDP-1, was the wrecking motion for this wrecking amendment to this bill. Everybody around this table knows it, and what Mr. Julian should be doing is saying thank you to the Conservative team, who saved his bacon, considering the fact that if we had not talked out the last meeting, he would not have had the ability to consult with the stakeholders, which he clearly failed to do previously, and understand that his amendment would have wrecked this bill totally and absolutely. Now, very sadly, he's trying to turn the table.
Let's just call this what it is: absolutely ridiculous political theatre from somebody who made a giant mistake and refuses to admit it. It would be the appropriate thing to say your wrecking amendment, NDP-1, would have wrecked the bill and you're sorry for that, and to say, “Thank you, Conservative team, once again, for saving my bacon.”
But will you do that? No. You're going to get on your soapbox and say that you now are the saviour of the natural health products industry. This is insanity. We have been here fighting this since the last time your coalition with the Liberals allowed the omnibus bill to pass that created this mess in the first place. If you had stood up in the original instance, none of this would have happened. It's a sad state of affairs.
