Thank you, Mr. Chair. With all due respect, I would note that in our initial discussions I wanted us to start the clause by clause study of this bill with clause 3, as you now want to do, starting with consideration of the Bloc Québécois amendment. This is the determining point for us in terms of participating after that regarding the bill as a whole, depending on the decision that is made, one way or the other.
If you have no objection, we could dispose of new clause 3.1 that we submitted as an amendment. I know that other amendments have been submitted. I don't know whether the other parties are going to want to move subamendments. I would like us to debate new clause 3.1 moved by the Bloc Québécois first.
