Thank you for the opportunity.
I appreciate the amendment from Mr. Lauzon. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and the preparedness that he has shown in introducing this. I think it's quite good. It addresses a couple of concerns I had, which I think were relatively minor given how far we've come in this conversation in what I would say is a relatively short period of time.
Relative to how long we've been debating the original motion that Ms. Vecchio put forward, we've come a long way. It's great. I really appreciate Mr. Blaikie's amendment and now Mr. Lauzon's amendment, which is on the table before us. This is a step in the right direction. We're very close, I think, to resolving this. I think this is great progress.
I just wanted to say thank you to all the committee members and express my sincere gratitude for all the hard work we've been putting in. The ability to compromise a little along the way is really going a long way, so thank you for that.
I will allow my colleague Ms. Vecchio to speak to this now. I may have a few more words in just a moment, but I'm still reflecting. Thanks.
