I'd like to move a motion now. I'll read the motion first. The motion is:

In accordance with its Order of Reference of Wednesday, October 25, 2006, your Committee has considered Bill C-257, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (replacement workers) and agreed to report the following:

Bill C-257 fails to provide balance to both sides in the collective bargaining process and fails to address other issues reflected in the evidence presented by witnesses. Accordingly, your committee recommends, pursuant to Standing Order 97.1, that the House of Commons not proceed further with Bill C-257, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (replacement workers).

That's the end of the motion.

I want to also point out right now that I intend to move a second motion as part of the discussion. A copy of this motion is right here.

See context to find out what was said next.
