Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You have delivered a very clear message today. Nonetheless, we have to say that what Ms. Michaud said is extremely important.
The government should have sent this bill to committee before second reading. The fact that this was not done meant that these amendments were not in order. That is one of the problems the committee is currently examining.
It is the committee's job to do it, not yours. We will do it as best we can, of course. We have understood your message today. It is very clear.
Mr. Shockey, I have a question for you. Again, I apologize if this is something you've already answered. I believe you have appeared before the committee before. I'm the new guy on the block, so I will ask this question even if you've answered it.
You mentioned that your estimate was that 97% of Americans were clients of outfitters. I wasn't sure whether you were talking about your business or, in a broader sense, the regional businesses.
Can you quantify what you feel would be the impacts of these two amendments and what that would mean in terms of either your business or the impact on outfitters generally?
