There seems to be.... I'm trying to make sure that we have as much certainty and clarity as possible for these guys. Yes, it's big money, but it's entire communities being wiped off the map too if these industries all disappear from their towns.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

If there are no more questions....

I had you, Mr. Fillmore, but you're okay?

On the suggestion of Mr. Perkins, we could take a break for a few minutes just to see where all parties are at on G-1 and resume shortly.

I'll suspend briefly.

4:45 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

Dear colleagues, we will resume our meeting and I welcome you once again.

It seems that an agreement has been reached after the huddle and I believe there is consensus among the parties.

I now give the floor to Mr. Perkins.

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

Thank you.

With the agreement of all of the parties—the government, the opposition parties, officials and the sponsor of the bill—I think we have an agreement right now to put G-1 into place, with the thought, obviously down the road, that there will be some more work and opportunity perhaps to refine it a little more when it goes to the Senate.

Is everyone else in agreement with that?
