I'm using a point of order to say that our comments are relevant in the context of the debate because we are interpreting what the witnesses said. I am prepared to start over and to discuss the amendment itself, in the hope that I can convince you of its relevance and fairness as I see it.
I think it is quite astounding that in the same session we voted in favour of the motion stating that Quebec is a nation recognized by the federal Parliament within a united Canada, as the resolution states, and that here we have a bill, part of which runs counter to the Quebec government's position. I am prepared to listen, but I think the motion we have before us would cause us to rush unduly. That is why I put forward my amendment.
We have not heard from any witnesses on this matter. I would like to hear from the representatives of the Office de la protection du consommateur du Québec, for example, which is the organization in charge of this issue in Quebec. They could come and tell us about the unique situation in Quebec. We could perhaps even have a written opinion from the Quebec government on its views of this issue. I am also prepared to hear from people who defend the opposite position, those who would have different views on the matter.
