Mr. Chair, I agree with Mr. Laframboise. We had Mr. Jean who first said he did not want to discuss this clause precisely because it could change the direction of the bill. He then said it was not serious, that perhaps it was something that could be discussed later on. Those two comments completely contradict one another. What Mr. Laframboise and Mr. Bélanger said makes sense. We must start at the beginning. Let us list the definitions first and then proceed to the clause by clause. That makes more sense. That would be the normal procedure. Acting in good faith, the government would agree that it makes sense to proceed in this way.
