I answered your question. The definition is based on international law, so it's not my personal opinion about “deeply felt”.
We had a number of discussions away from the table with people about trying to reach a compromise. At that time, I said I was willing to consider your amendments. As people on the other side of the table were not willing to reach an agreement, then whether I like or dislike the amendments is really a moot point.
Again, this is based on international law and based on some precedents in other areas of Canadian law. I'm not just making it up.
