If the parliamentary secretary is offering us.... He's had two days to tell us what he wants to provide to us. If we drop that motion, the motion is gone, not to be returned. And of course we wind up in the unfortunate situation of giving a green light and carte blanche to the minister's proposal on April 6.
It's probably going to proceed anyway, Mr. Chairman, but we want to make sure that, like the Conservatives, we recognize that as it stands it's not acceptable. It is going to vandalize the telecom industry from a local perspective. And unless you're prepared to tell us which nine of the twelve recommendations we've made as an opposition are acceptable to you, I'm not prepared to accept a pig in a poke.
Come forth. You could have done so privately, Mr. Carrie. I asked you to speak to my industry critic, Mr. Brison, and to Mr. Crête. We were waiting for that yesterday. And I realize there are a lot of things to do in 48 hours, but coming to us and saying that you've got it, but you don't want us to criticize you.... I want to make sure this works well.
If you're not prepared to tell us what--and that's the price you're prepared to make--then, Mr. Chairman, we'll just continue this discussion about where we differ in terms of our opinions. At the end of this, we expect that the chair, consistent with this motion, will require the minister to report that the minister withdraws the order varying telecom decision 2006 and table in Parliament a comprehensive package of policies, statutory and regulatory forms to modernize the telecommunication services industry.
Mr. Carrie, provide us with the nine, and there's probably a good chance we can end this very quickly.
