Thank you, Chairman.
I want to go back to your ruling about this being advisory rather than “requiring” the government. I think it's something important for the Bloc to take note of, in the sense that the status quo of this bill wasn't good enough and was inadequate for that party a few weeks ago. If this suggested solution by the Liberals only adds an advisory, a suggestion to the government, and it respects the status quo.... That's what the chairman said: this is the status quo with advice on it.
Advice is not binding for the government. This is Quebec losing $5.4 million all over again, with, on top of that, a tidbit of advice saying it would be a good idea not to take $5.4 million from Quebec.
At the end of the day, this bill, if this amendment is successful, is still a huge loss for Quebec. I want to be very clear about that.
