Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
In spite of the fact that Mr. Naqvi has an entire department at his disposal, it's clear that he didn't consider this beforehand. That's a sad state of affairs. This is a substantive amendment.
I mean no disrespect to you, Mr. Lee, but this certainly does not give anybody on this side of the table any chance to really consider and look at the act and understand how it may apply. You expect us to make this decision on the fly.
Mr. Naqvi, as the rest of us did, had the ability to put forward any amendments that he wanted to. Obviously, now at the eleventh hour, he chooses to make a substantive subamendment to a very straightforward BQ-2.
That being said, there are a couple of things to consider. If this bill went back to the House unamended, none of these powers would actually exist at all. I think the other ridiculous thing that we fail to consider here is that there is no substantiation that recall powers need to be extended at all. Nobody has provided one shred of evidence. In fact, we've asked for it. Sadly, the NDP-Liberal coalition voted against a common-sense Conservative motion to compel people who talked about serious adverse events to bring them forward. Then we wouldn't even have to have Mr. Julian's motion. We wouldn't even have to talk about it because we would have had evidence to consider, which, once again, he voted against in his lack of support to the natural health products industry. That being said—
