Mr. Chairman, perhaps in an effort to expedite the meeting I can speak on behalf of my Liberal colleagues here. We intend to support Mr. Julian's motion.
I would like to make one amendment, and I'm in your hands. Mr. Julian, I think, is amenable to the amendment. I would simply like to add a sentence at the end of Mr. Julian's motion that would say: That the committee further call on the government to begin bilateral negotiations with China, similar to those undertaken by the United States and the European Union, to reach an agreement on imports of clothing and textiles and that the committee report this matter to the House of Commons forthwith.
