I'll keep this very brief.
I certainly understand the rationale and am comfortable with the changes being made, but I am not comfortable with the thing that's been removed from the very end, which is “that this be reported to the House”.
Unfortunately, it appears from our discussions that there aren't enough members of committee who feel the same way I do, so it will in fact pass. I still believe it's important that we express our objection to that. I think it's important that there be a report to the House, much as with the last motion, where attempts were made by Liberal members to have the report taken out.
I don't agree with it happening in this case either. Therefore, for that reason alone, I will be voting against it, but I agree with the rest of the changes.
