That wasn't a point of order, Mr. Chair.
The reality is we have asked the government members to hold off on this motion until the end so that we can hear from the witnesses. The government has refused. We have offered now three types of compromise amendments so that we can get consensus on the study, which the government says is important. The government is refusing, and continues to use very partisan rhetoric that resembles witch hunt rhetoric, rather than dealing with the idea of the study.
We have another offering from Mr. McKay, something that should have the support of all members of this committee. If the members adopt this amendment, then we can proceed to hearing the witnesses. I don't understand why the government is refusing, when we have four witnesses who have a lot to offer us, and I don't understand why the government has turned this committee meeting into something very cheap and very partisan when it should not be that way. That's not how the natural resources committee has functioned, Mr. Chair.
