Mr. Chair, it's World Water Day. As you know, we've been getting e-mails from Canadians across the country, and I think Canadians expect us to deal with the motion today. I would certainly agree with Mr. Keddy in that regard, that it's more important for the parties to make very clear to the public where they stand on the issue of reserve for water in NAFTA.
I do want to mention as well, Mr. Chair, there's nothing in motion 2 that even refers to AbitibiBowater. Certainly, we heard substantive input from witnesses, but this is a reiteration of the 2007 motion.
I did want to take a few moments to read into the record a few more of the witnesses' comments. I think that's important.
