I believe, as has already been said, that the government doesn't want to do anything on this issue, because if we agree to Mr. Pallister's amendment, we are eliminating the entire aspect of international trade, and that is the reason why we are here. This is quite simply a motion that should be presented to the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. The international aspect is important when we are talking about competition in the manufacturing sector and the resulting job losses. I cannot vote for your amendment, Mr. Pallister. I want to deal with the international trade issue.
