I have another quick point, which is that, as I mentioned at the beginning of my prepared remarks, the government has decided to refer the bill to this committee before second reading. Presumably, that is because it is open to amendments beyond the statement of principles of the bill. I find your remarks a little puzzling in terms of the difficulty that could ensue if amendments were to be made. Presumably, the government and the government House leader would have been aware of those difficulties when they in fact took the unusual step of breaking the normal process of things, and referring Bill S-4 to this committee before second reading.
On March 10th, 2015. See this statement in context.
