Brian, the minister has to be responsible. The object of the bill is for the minister to continue to be responsible. I know what you want to do; you want to change it all and put the responsibility on the council. But that changes the meaning of the bill. The bill came from Parliament, and, as we have already said at committee, we cannot do what we like with a bill like this.
Clearly, Mr. Chair is correct. Perhaps he is starting to raise his game in order to become the next Speaker of the House, because he is quite even-handed.
But we still all have to be consistent, in terms of amendment LIB-2. The minister must be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the monument. But your amendment G-7 says that the council is going to have fundraising campaigns.
I understand what you are saying. You do not want the government paying for it. However, it is best if amendment G-7 harmonizes perfectly with the goal of the bill. So I think that we have to pass amendment LIB-2 and amendment G-7, and replace clause 7 completely. Actually, amendment LIB-1 replaces paragraph 7(1) and amendment G-7 will replace paragraph 7(2) automatically, and clause 8.
