Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will not be supporting the amendment to the motion. I had spoken earlier to the committee about the amount of work that the committee put in, the amount of time, the amount of public engagement that we had, the colleagues that we worked with. I felt, in my opinion, that the committee worked very diligently. We didn't always agree on everything, but we came to a consensus, and we came forward with opinions. We took the time to actually review each recommendation and have the hard discussions and do the research on them.

I find this a little bit disrespectful, Mr. Chair, in honesty, that this was brought onto the floor when a special committee has been working for months on this, and it was never brought to the committee's attention and never had a chance to review this.

Out of respect for the special committee on women, I, again, state that I will stand by the committee that did the work, the staff, the chair, and all the committee members, and I will not be supporting an amendment that comes at the last minute on the floor. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
