I have two things, Madam Chair.
First of all, further to the point you may have just referenced and that Tony was mentioning, I believe that this amendment is a reasonable thing to do. It may be out of order. I don't challenge that. But to suggest that this goes beyond the scope of what it actually says is wrong.
The amendment suggests that it would refer to “a member of a police force who is a Canadian citizen in the employ of Her Majesty in right of Canada or a Canadian citizen under contract with the Government of Canada”. It doesn't talk about engineers or businesspeople or anything else. It's very specific. I ask the government to consider that.
The other thing I'd ask is this. Mr. Komarnicki has been working with us, based on a concern that we raised in the House when this came forward and that other parties have raised subsequently. I wonder whether he would give us his sense of what he proposes to bring forward as an amendment when this comes back to the House.
