I just want to hear from the officials on this amendment. I'm going to support it, because I think it's a very valid amendment, but I would still like to know if the officials have any reservations.
Just before you begin your answer, Mr. Arbour, I would like to point something out.
Mr. Chair, there was a pause while we were waiting for the translation of a subamendment. I'll tell you what I understand, Mr. Chair, and I'd like you to confirm whether it's the case. This may be more of a point of order. Did we drop the subamendment because the translation was slow in coming? Is there a problem with the translation bureau? Is our work slowed down because the bureau isn't able to translate a subamendment quickly? What happened the whole time we waited? What is the problem? I'd like you to let me know, because it's a huge concern for me.
