I'm a little confused by the Conservatives on this. They voted for similar amendments yesterday, so I'm confused that, while they understood the sense of the amendments yesterday, today those same amendments provoke a completely different reaction.
I've been somewhat dismayed by the intent of some Conservative members in the House to try to present the bill as still having the amendments that we forced the withdrawal of months ago. Conservatives tried to take credit for it, but now they seem to be, at least in the House, indicating that the amendments are still there. I think that misinformation is not helpful at all.
In this sense, I don't understand why they would vote for similar amendments yesterday and now say today that these are problems. It doesn't seem to be consistent at all.
I do recognize that this government is slow in a whole range of areas, including on renewal of licences. That is true, and we've seen it in a number of different areas. I had similar concerns with the Harper government that was so slow in a whole range of other areas. That is an administrative issue that I think does need to be followed up on, but it's different from considering the bill and considering the amendments that are before us now.
