I'm most interested in the amendment, so I appreciate Mr. Turnbull's part of the motion that narrows it to that.
My concern with the amendment and the reason I don't support it in its state—from what I remember, having listened to it twice—is that it provides an indeterminate amount of time to table those items. In other words, the minister doesn't have to table his amendments until clause-by-clause study, tabling them through the members opposite.
This is a delay tactic to basically do the same thing that the minister did on Tuesday. It's a repeat of what the minister did, which is saying, “We have amendments, but we are not going to give them to you for any of the witnesses to see until we're ready to give them to you, which will not be until clause-by-clause consideration.” That's the point of what we've been spending the last hour on.
The government members have just admitted that there are amendments, in addition to what Mr. Lemire just quoted from the minister's testimony.
I am okay with this amendment as long as what is put into it is “within five business days”, as was in the previous motion.
