Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through this comical circus it is actually supposed to be called due clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-24, and we haven't had that. What we've had is a bit of a kangaroo court, ramming through amendments that are going to hurt lumber remanufacturers in British Columbia and the softwood industry, particularly those companies that were so cash short they had to sign up to the EDC. That's only 25% of the companies, but nonetheless they're important.
Here we have a situation in clause 24 where the minister notifies of cancellation, but without any real substantial direction. In our amendment we're saying it has to happen by registered mail. Essentially we are saying that this egregiously bad bill, which is being rammed through at lightning speed without due consideration, has to be changed.
