Ostensibly what we're trying to accomplish here is.... We're not in disagreement. The concern is that Ms. Chow's amendment, even with her changes, is too broad. The way we've put this subamendment forward allows for more certainty and more of a definition around what her intentions are. We don't disagree with them.
If that's satisfactory, then....

In the spirit of collaboration, I hope that the next time we suspend for that long we'll be able to agree as a committee on the music that should be played.

I'd move that Bill C-35 in clause 2 be amended by replacing in the French version lines 19 and 20 on page 2 with the following. There should be a copy for everyone there.

I'm withdrawing that one because the last time the minister was here he said he was going to do that soon.
