If you have another point that you want to bring up, Mr. Julian, then I will allow it because you have the floor. If you're going to harp on the same thing, I am moving on to Mr. Guimond, end of story.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Don't worry; I don't intend to repeat what I already said. I am simply trying to understand. Mr. Julian's amendment strikes me as extremely positive.
There is something I wasn't able to understand by asking a positive question, so I will try to put it in the negative. Why don't the Conservatives and Liberal want to accept this amendment? I would like to understand why. So, with your permission, Mr. Chairman, I would like to put the question to Mr. Keddy and Mr. Brison, so that I can understand. Why will they not accept an amendment which I see as extremely positive?

Mr. Keddy, you've been asked a question by Mr. Guimond on why you don't want this amendment.

Because the amendment--I'll answer the question quite quickly--is redundant. It doesn't take into effect how the bill works. It doesn't take into effect how collective bargaining works.
Actually, it's abuse of members' privilege; it's a delaying tactic, and nothing more than a delaying tactic, in this process.

The amendment is pretty clear. I'm going to call the vote on the amendment.
All those in favour of the amendment?
