Thank you.
Given that one of the witnesses here, Mr. Yost, has said that LIB-8--which would amend clause 8 by adding on after line 6 on page 13, the text that one finds on page 18 of the amendments that have been distributed--if I understood him correctly, is not really a problem. There's a minor contradiction. He said there might be a minor contradiction, but that in fact the substance of it is not a problem with Bill C-32, does not change the objective substantially of Bill C-32.
I believe this is in fact an amendment that should be supported by the members of this committee. I think it brings a little more clarity to clause 8, and as he said--I'm not putting words in his mouth, he said it himself--it does not change clause 8. It brings a little bit more clarity. It repeats information that's there, and there's one little technical thing. Now, the government may wish to propose a subamendment for the one little technical thing that Mr. Yost mentioned, but I'm amazed that the government is automatically discounting out of hand this particular amendment that's being proposed.
