Very briefly, Mr. Chair, as ludicrous as I thought Mr. Holland's proposed amendment was to make the threshold $100,000, this one is even more ludicrous.
To make the threshold $1 million would imply that a white-collar fraud or a scheme where the damages are $990,000 is somehow minor. That defies any logic, anything the victims have told us. It's ludicrous. I think it's counterintuitive to the spirit of the bill.
I commend your ruling that it's out of order.
But since the members on the other side of the table have deemed fit to challenge the chair, I certainly take Madame Mourani on her word that she will do the right thing and vote no to this ludicrous amendment, making the bar $1 million for the difference between a minor fraud and a major fraud.
