Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We do not support this motion at this time on this bill. As Mr. Garrison will know, there was no witness testimony heard by the committee on this point. He's pointed out that this is contained in Bill C-279, which is currently before the Senate. Therefore we believe that it would be inappropriate to bring it here where we haven't heard witness testimony. We should allow the Senate to complete its work on that matter.
So that's our position and on that basis we will not support this amendment at this time.
