I'd like to clarify one point. Some people are accusing us of engaging in obstruction and delaying the committee's work, but, if no motion had been introduced to limit debate at the clause-by-clause consideration stage and virtually to conclude hearings of witnesses, we wouldn't have wasted all this time. That's not our objective. Once again, I'm reaching out tothe government and to the NDP and asking them to vote for my sub-amendment. Then we will have made another step toward solving the problem.
I'd like to suggest that everyone attend the next meeting in person because we have to resolve this situation and it would be easier to do it that way because we'd be able to speak to each other directly. I'll have a chance to introduce a motion on the subject later on. At any event, I encourage people to vote for this sub-amendment. It would be a first step toward resolving the situation.
