I'm not sure we have to move on. I'd be more than willing to put forward a subamendment to Ms. May's amendment. However, I go back to my original point.
But before I make my original point, I want to point out two things. If you went back to March 2015 when the Conservatives were in government, would you ever imagine the Liberals would be talking the way they are today? It would be absolutely unfathomable. That is the first point. It's a little hypocritical, I believe.
The second point is to Frank's point. Lloyd said they're going to put the wording in the regulation, so the regulation's coming anyway. Frank and Lloyd probably need to have a meeting after this meeting to discuss this.
These are not your entry-level employees you're asking this question to or you're reporting or you're recording. These are senior, experienced people who are public in many ways in their communities and on the Canadian business scene. They're strong, they're confident, and they want to disclose what they're going to disclose. They're going to be proud when they disclose it at that time. This isn't some 25-year-old who's just setting out in the world. This is a senior person with thick skin who has gone through many bumps along the way.
I want to make that distinction, but I'll be quite honest that I don't know how anybody on this committee at this point could vote on this without knowing what the regulation is. That's my own opinion. It's an abdication of duty and I feel it's an important point. If we can't see this regulation that everybody keeps.... I'm assuming there must be a regulation bubbling around somewhere in the halls of the department. A sign of good faith would be to show us this, and if it seems legitimate, maybe we could bypass all this. But to do it in good faith at 10:25 just to speed things along, I think we'd be letting down a lot of people in this country who feel very passionately about this. I think at one time the Liberal Party probably was passionate about this too.
If the Liberals don't have the regulation here today, if it's possible to park this amendment and keep going or suspend the meeting until Thursday, or whenever we're going to discuss this bill again, and have the regulation tabled so we can discuss it and go through it.... I can't imagine anybody on this committee wanting to proceed with this bill until we know what the regulation is going to be.
I'm open to suggestions. If it has to be in camera, I'm willing to look at it in camera. Whatever it may be, I'm open to that, but I would think until we see that I don't know why we would continue.
