I'd like to confuse the issue a bit more here, Mr. Chairman, if I may; I'll give it a good shot anyhow.
You ruled on something that is perplexing: that if BQ-4 is adopted, Liberal-4 could not be considered. The two are not addressing the same thing at all. The BQ-4 amendment addresses a consultation process. They are arguing that the public and the governments of the provinces concerned, in this case Quebec and Ontario, should be consulted. That's one concept I personally don't have a real problem with. I don't sense that the government has a problem with that either. I may be wrong.
LIB-4 does not deal with the consultation but with the results of the consultation. Once the consultation, whichever way we decide, has been done, it's “the Commission shall lay before each House of Parliament”, instead of the Governor in Council.
Mr. Chairman, I would invite you to reflect on your ruling, to see if you still hold fast to it.
