Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure for me to rise and address my comments to Group No. 4 of the amendments before the House.
I must say that it is exceedingly difficult for all of the members from whatever party and whatever point of view to address such a large group of amendments because they deal with so many different areas.
We have 16 amendments in this group that we are going to endeavour to try to adequately address and debate in a short 10-minute intervention. In light of there being 16 amendments in 10 minutes, I will have to confine my comments to just a few of them.
Perhaps for the viewing public watching this debate at home with interest I am sure, I should note that Group No. 3 comprised Motion No. 3 and was dropped because apparently it had been brought forward at the committee and therefore was ruled out of order.
I did want to make the point when I put that motion forward that what it did was remove reference to the president as a member of the board of directors.
In other words, the president would not have served on the board of directors.
