Mr. Chair, I just gave the right information to the member who moved the subamendment.
We are working as a team, Mr. Beaulieu.
I seem to be trivializing that, but it's important to keep up.
So, regarding point 2 of Mr. Serré's motion, the amendments to Bill C‑13 should be submitted to the clerk in both official languages on December 8 and until noon on December 9.
Second, during clause-by-clause, the amendments related to the requests of the Government of Quebec and the francophone minority communities should be debated without any time limit, before being put to a vote.
What I'm trying to illustrate is that calendar dates are not useful to us. I think we need to talk about meeting numbers and work periods.
If everything gets delayed for even one meeting, we'll have to pass another subamendment. We will be wasting our time and not making any progress. Once again, Mr. Chair, the French language in Canada will be what suffers.
I'm therefore having some serious doubts. Once again, I invite the Liberal Party, of which Mr. Serré is a member, to withdraw its motion as far as dates are concerned and not impose time limits on us.
On the other hand, I do fully agree with point 5 of his subamendment:
5. During clause-by-clause consideration, amendments related to requests from the Government of Quebec and the francophone minority communities be debated without any time limit before being put to a vote.
I totally agree with this point, but I would apply it to everything. We shouldn't limit ourselves in terms of identifying clauses related to organizations. We need to work and not limit the debate on amendments.
So those are my first comments regarding my colleague's suggestion. We agree, but some adjustments are needed. Now I would like to hear from my other committee colleagues.
