Mr. Speaker, again I would like to say a few words in explanation of my amendments.
During the course of committee investigation the minister came before the committee and stated that it was his intention only to pay off enough debt after taking off the assets and resources of the company to allow the company to reach a BBB credit rating.
I have accepted this but wish to restrict the minister to ensure that he will do no more than what he said. Given that he has made this statement, it is very reasonable to ask him to make that commitment by way of amendment to the legislation. However, if he is not prepared to do this, then I would suggest that we should take away the power for him to arbitrarily pay off any amount of debt he chooses.
With regard to Motions Nos. 8, 9 and 10 I have looked at them but I have not been able to find my way clear to recommend that we support them. However I think Motion No. 11 by the Bloc Quebecois is a good motion. It deals with a sensitive subject. A lot of people will be reassured without causing any problems, and I recommend we support that motion.
Beyond this I would defer to my colleague from North Island-Powell River on debate.
