Mr. Speaker, a brief word or two with respect to the motions that are in Group No. 3, Motions Nos. 3, 4, 5, 18 and 19. The members who have already spoken in detail about these proposed amendments have very clearly indicated why the majority of them are either inappropriate or unnecessary. I would like to congratulate the members who have participated in the debate on these motions in putting forward the arguments very clearly.
I would like to indicate that Motion No. 18 is fundamentally acceptable. As a matter of legal interpretation, it may not be absolutely necessary, but as the hon. member for Kindersley-Lloydminster indicated earlier with respect to Motion No. 10, if it is the government's intention to proceed in a reasonable manner, which obviously it is, then is there any harm done by including that specific word reasonable?
In the circumstances pertaining to Motion No. 18, it may as a matter of legal interpretation be a bit redundant. Some may say it is sort of gilding the lily, but it is clearly the government's intention to administer the bill in a reasonable fashion. If it improves the perception of the legislation by accepting Motion No. 18 and including the word reasonable in this context, the government has absolutely no problem with that. Motion No. 18 is certainly acceptable in this group of motions, whereas we would have to vote against Motions Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 19.
