I have no objections to our going to Toronto, but shouldn't we be sending a message at this time, namely that we're concerned about the tensions reported in the media. Outbreaks of gunfire are being reported. The Quebec media are reporting on events taking place in British Columbia. Why Toronto and not British Columbia? I'd like Mr. Comartin to explain to me the rationale for his amendment. I'm not calling into question that he is a rational person.
