Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I do appreciate the way in which Mr. Battiste is trying to collaborate and get to a point where everyone can be happy with this bill. Obviously, this is a very important aspect of the legislation, so I have no issue with taking a bit more time to discuss it.
I would suggest as well, though, that we do dispose of the subamendment at the very least, if there is agreement to include “agreement” rather than “consent” for provinces. I think that's a relatively simple change that we can dispose of.
