I'm also speaking in favour of the friendly amendment, since our honourable colleague has agreed. I think in other committees, once the person who submits the motion agrees, there is a friendly agreement and then there is no other required procedure. I do not know why this committee acts very differently from other committees. I absolutely support the procedure; it is definitely the right way to go. Procedurally, I do not think we're violating any normal procedure in committees.
It doesn't matter whether it's bilingualism, official languages, immigration, or status of women. Once the person who presents the motion has accepted that as a friendly amendment, then I think we can just move on.
