Good morning. I would like to thank our witnesses for coming in and I'd also like to hear their testimony as soon as possible, but I would like to first of all echo the thoughts that were expressed by my colleagues on this side that a committee should not become an organ of the parties.
I think that we've been working together fairly well for these past few months. We came out with a report on resource development in the north, and I think we can continue in this line of work, so I would oppose strongly a motion like this, the only purpose of which is to attack another party. I don't think that committee should be a place where we bring out partisan talking points and try to attack other party leaders or candidates.
On that, I would suggest to the committee that we invite the mover of this motion to move this motion to the end of committee so that we can hear our witnesses first and discuss this afterwards, out of respect for the time that they're taking to meet with us today.
