All right.
I understand all that, but as has been pointed out, what matters to the committee is working on behalf of veterans. We want to come to an agreement amongst ourselves.
I want to make clear that some members are in favour of deleting the last two paragraphs and most members are in favour of the 45‑day deadline. Yes, we could go ahead and vote on the amendment, as proposed. What that would mean, though, is that, if the amendment were defeated, the committee could not then vote on the 45‑day deadline or the removal of the last two paragraphs.
Go ahead, Mr. Richards.
