Madam Speaker, I want to ask a question about the hon. member for St. John's East's very last point.
It is very telling and important that we examine the problem of having rushed this bill through committee, but now we have the government amendments ruled out of order. These amendments, which opposition members would have supported, would have cleared the committee had they been presented then.
What are the member's thoughts as to why those efforts to fix the bill now have come too late?
