Thank you, Chair.
The amendment itself, when moved, was a little surprising for the government, because it actually changes the ability for the government to deal with this.
If the motion here, for the extension on the private member's bill, were to carry, it would mean that it would need to be reintroduced in the House through a concurrence motion, at least initially at report stage by you, Chairman. It would actually change the ability for the government to introduce that motion into the House by refining the day of introduction to one day, that day being Friday, June 21.
Now, the difficulty with that, and the purpose, I suppose, of the amendment, is to define one specific day that the bill would be reintroduced. The difficulty in that, Mr. Chairman, is that if the House were to rise tomorrow, Wednesday, or Thursday, it would put us in a position where the government's hands would be tied—your hands would be tied—in terms of the day that you would introduce the motion from the committee into the House of Commons.
