Mr. Chair, I understand Mr. Crête's perspective. Perhaps it might be easier for the committee, then, to receive this as Mr. Holland's original motion and a proposed amendment to that motion by deleting the words--sorry, I do not have the original motion in front of me, for some reason--after “pursuant to Standing Order 108(2),” as I would recall.
I would move the following: pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), that the Minister of Industry delay closing the Investment Canada review of the Xstrata/Falconbridge merger proposal until after all other international regulatory bodies have ruled regarding the Inco/Falconbridge merger proposal.
That's a motion of amendment. I think that is consistent with our rules.
