Thank you.
First of all, Mr. Simms, I know the date is an issue for some people, but it's not the main issue. Obviously, the amendment is not here to address the date. The amendment is here to address the fact that this is something the government is trying to reserve the right to do unilaterally, and that's the problem. I heard the comments the other members were making, and I think the kinds of comments I was hearing either belie ignorance or assume that the opposition is stupid. It's one of the two. I hate to be so strong in my language about that, but those are the facts.
At the end of the day, what this is doing is giving the government the ability to unilaterally change the way this place works. That is not the way this is typically done. It's not the way it has been done in the past.
