Thank you, Chair. I'm not sure I'll need all seven minutes.
First I'll make just an observation, Chair. I find it somewhat amusing that Monsieur Proulx is trying to make this once again into a political partisan affair by suggesting that the government in some way has backtracked on its position or bowed to some pressure on this bill, when in fact, I would point out for the record again, all members of this committee not only had a consensus but had unanimity, when we first had Monsieur Mayrand here, in support of this bill. The Liberal Party has subsequently decided that they, upon closer examination, don't support the bill.
