I understand the two motions and how they got here. I think it was adequately explained. The fact of the matter is that the motion--and it is not Mr. Martin's--precisely sets out where we had reached at the last meeting and we said we would support, but otherwise we would not support it. With the addition to this motion, we would not be prepared to support it.
So we can lose the entire motion or we can take the objectionable portion out. As an offer of goodwill, I move an amendment to take out the portion that states “starting with achieving a 50% reduction in poverty by 2020”.
