Mr. Chair, I find this situation totally ridiculous and unacceptable. Two parties consulted with each other and freely exchanged about the content of letters, of explanations and various options. On our side, we were handed this document at 2 p.m., in English only, during question period, which was very raucous today, and we are expected to study this very quickly. I don't agree. What the lawyers are submitting are rather straightforward amendments, it seems to me. One line would be replaced by a whole list of sections. But we did not get any time to review them. This is unacceptable.
Mr. Hawn, we are presently checking if we received this e-mail. It seems we did not. We could discuss it later, but right now I note that members of an opposition party have been briefed, gave answers, have even expressed preferences. Compared to them, Mr. Harris and myself are placed in an unfair situation. I don't know what we are going to do. I am presently consulting our whip. There certainly has been a breach of procedures that makes this situation unacceptable.
