I understand that this is a very unusual motion, and I recognize that it is unique inasmuch as it hasn't been done. I sought advice in regard to this, and that advice basically was that by virtue of the importance of Bill C-484 and its impact on women, it was incumbent that we try to look at the possibility of having the bill come to this committee, because it does impact the lives of women in a way that I don't think many of the MPs who may have supported the bill at second reading understand, and, without changes, this bill will go back to the House of Commons.
There's only a 60-day window. It will go back without any consideration of the bits and pieces of it that will negatively impact women. So by virtue of what I see as a very disconcerting situation in regard to women and their ability to choose, I thought it important that we try.
