A member of the Official Opposition has just said he will be voting against the Bloc amendment because he prefers the government amendment. However, if Committee members want to properly exercise their right to vote, they should officially be made aware of content of that other amendment. I understand that an agreement has been reached behind closed doors, but the proper approach would be to tell us what that agreement involves.
Indeed, Mr. Chairman, I believe the majority of Committee members would agree that the amendment be tabled, so that we can look at it before voting on the Bloc amendment.
