If I can just throw some of that question back to the government, because it's ultimately.... The bill we have before us is the bill that we have before us for reasons that we heard on Monday, from both Minister Mendicino and the officials. If there's a legal as well as a political way to insert that exemption, by all means, do so. I don't think anybody at this table is going to say, “Don't do that.”
What we're saying, though, is that it shouldn't be the litmus test of whether this particular.... A fine-tuned version of Bill C-41 should proceed. Just to reiterate, we also have the position that the two aren't mutually exclusive. You can do them in a sequenced kind of way.
Really, Ms. Damoff—we know each other well—it's a matter of what the government intends to do. I think we would strongly support what MSF and others said during the first session, which is that, yes, if there's a way to do this, if it's ruled within scope during the amendment process, then by all means, please do it, but we would also urge—to turn to opposition—that it is not the litmus test of the bill. There are other ways to improve the bill as it stands that make it fit for purpose.
As Amy said, if that is done, we should still proceed while seeking the long-term commitment and working towards an improved framework that includes an exemption. I hope that's clear.
