Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Obviously, the five pillars in this bill are quality, availability, affordability, accessibility and inclusiveness. The Liberals put forth a subamendment that cut out two of those, which were availability and accessibility. They were caught by the Conservatives. Now they've put them back.
My question is why they were not there to begin with. To my colleague's point, she said, “We consulted,” but you never came to us. You said you consulted with the NDP and the Bloc, but you never came over to the Conservatives, so I'm curious on that comment, as well. You want to work with everyone, but there was no consultation over here.
My other question is why they were not in there to begin with?
