Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the kind words of my colleague, Mr. Julian, and it's a mutual respect.
I also said that one of the reasons I don't support this is not because the Liberal Party has changed its position at all, but because I'm not sure the AbitibiBowater decision has the consequences...we heard from only a couple of witnesses in our relatively limited review of the decision here at the committee.
My colleague knows that I have expressed concerns about the legal opinion of what happened in the AbitibiBowater decision. I have raised those concerns.
I will reiterate that this motion is premature when the committee in fact is tasked with providing a report on the AbitibiBowater decision. My colleague would be perfectly free to bring forward another motion after that report is done, but I think it's a lack of respect for the committee process to pre-empt the committee report.
