I say this with all due respect to my colleague. I think that we've studied this bill for a number of months now. I think it's fairly safe to say that members on the other side already have a sense of how they will be voting on part 5 and on the amendments that are tabled related to that. It's just that I'm following the procedural rules here that were imposed on me. I've drafted all the necessary amendments. I can assure my colleague that I will be more than happy to move all those amendments to fully repeal this problematic part of the bill, and this is just due diligence. It was the law clerks of the House of Commons who helped us put all this together, so my fate is in their hands and they were, as always, very helpful.
