Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We're going sixty seconds per clause, sixty seconds per amendment. Perhaps clause 26 is one of the best examples of why that breakneck, absolutely irresponsible draconian, dictatorial, and mean-spirited pace is bad for our softwood companies.
We're throwing out amendments left and right. There is no real consideration of what the implications are. Now we have an amended clause 26 and we are not completely aware of what that clause may in fact do to softwood companies.
Sixty seconds a clause is not the way to write legislation. It's irresponsible. You ask any Canadian whether sixty seconds should be used for each clause on a bill that's brought forward and what will they say? They will say, “That's absurd. You mean you took sixty seconds to consider the implications of each clause? You took sixty seconds to decide on the future of the softwood industry even when you were told there were problems with it.”
