I want to speak to the suggestion made by my colleague, because I believe that's still up for debate. He made a friendly amendment to make a change with respect to the word “recommendations”. He suggested that we use the word “decisions”, in light of the fact this is a reflection of the discussion we had before, where we asked what recommendations Monsieur Cardin was referring to. Monsieur Guy also indicated there were specific cases around anti-dumping measures on bicycles or the furniture industry. So that is still up for debate.
I want to make an additional friendly amendment to that. As opposed to using the words “systematically implement”, I suggest we use the words “systematically consider”. That speaks to the concerns raised by the government with respect to flexibility and Mr. Pallister's comment that one size does not fit all and that there are some unique circumstance in each decision made. I think this will allow the government to have that latitude. In the spirit of cooperation, I think we've debated this extensively, and I think we need some sort of resolution or conclusion to this debate.
The friendly amendment I'm proposing is that we delete the word “implement” and substitute the word “consider”. The previous recommendation, or friendly amendment, made by Monsieur Dhaliwal was to take out the word “recommendations” and replace it with the word “decisions”.
One is presently under debate. I'm making a friendly amendment to that, in the spirit of cooperation, in light of the time.
