Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a comment.
I'm going to vote in favour of this clause, but once a bill is passed in the House of Commons, to my mind, it becomes the House's bill, legislation that we, the committee, are studying. It is no longer the bill of its proponent, whose wishes we should respect.
I'm very glad that the member introduced this bill. Now that it has been passed in the House, it belongs to all of us. It is from that standpoint that I am approaching this.
