Blake Richards Conservative Banff—Airdrie, AB

I don't think he's been officially notified or anything, but I did ask him about his bill. I think he's aware that the government bill deals with the same subject matter, so I don't think he'll be surprised by the decision—if this is the decision we make. Obviously, he'll have to be prepared to come up with something new.

I would simply take the position, based on the advice of the analyst, that from the government's position, we would view it as non-votable; it's constitutional, but non-votable.
