Thank you.
I think before we can have any discussion about the bill we have to have it presented to the committee. I respect the fact that the amendments were issued late in the day--it was about 5:30 p.m. that they were sent out to offices. Nonetheless, the meeting was scheduled to present the bill. We can have debate on every amendment and the committee has the ability to challenge every amendment and discuss it in full. We have had occasion where amendments are brought on the floor, even when they're not prepared in translation. But we do present them, we translate them orally, and they're considered acceptable for discussion only.
Mr. Gaudet.
