I have a comment on the amendment. I think adding “some of the testimony heard“ is important.
As we've heard today, and as we've heard on other days that we've been here, not all the testimony has aligned. We haven't had everybody on the same side of the equation. Instead, we've had some people, such as today, outright against the softwood lumber framework agreement. We have had some who have been absolutely for it. And we've had some witnesses who have expressed a variety of opinions. There are things they're in favour of, either slightly in favour or slightly against, and some concerns here and there.
I go back to the question that I was asking Mr. Falconer about being too categorical. We're being very categorical by saying “based on the testimony heard”. To me, that leaves the impression that all the witnesses were in alignment and that based on what we've heard here....
So I think the word “some” is important, because it gives justice to the different types of opinions we've heard on the software lumber agreement.
I actually think it's a good motion.
