Well, if you look even at that one in depth, in terms of amendments, some of which I hope to propose before we have to send this bill back, and you talk in that light and you give those alternatives and you give real information—which is what this should be about, as opposed to the contracted hearings forthcoming—and you give the Canadian people real information, you see that two-thirds of them are in fact in favour of keeping the registry with those types of amendments. That is my position, and I know I will never convince you, Mr. Chair. We've had too many arguments and too many discussions about this over the years; and vice versa, you are never going to convince me either. I'm coming at it from that vantage point.
So to respond to Ms. Hoeppner's question about what I am going to do, I am going to support this because basically it is about two-thirds and one-third of Canadians. That is where the Canadian people are. So we are going to hear from witnesses, two-thirds of whom are opposed to your proposed legislation and one-third of whom are in favour of it. There are some very strong voices included. I know some of these people and they represent a good cross-section of the people who are in support of your bill, just as we have a good cross-section in this list of those who are opposed to it.
So that is where I'm at, Mr. Chair. I think, quite frankly, we are getting pretty close to exhausting all of the possibilities, and I would suggest to the committee that we consider taking a vote on the motion as presented by Mr. Holland.
Thank you.
