Mr. Chairman, just so Mr. Stoffer understands, as well as Monsieur Perron and Monsieur St. Denis, I don't disagree with any of the amendments these three people are suggesting, and I don't disagree with the point that Peter raises.
Next time we sit, we have a presentation. All I'm saying is that we've had a motion in due form put forward at the committee more than six or seven days ago. Everybody has had a chance to study it, to respond to it, to prepare alternate positions and put them to the chair with 48 hours' notice. We haven't seen those. So rather than today having a game of ping-pong and mishmash and negotiating in committee about how we come to a more reasonable situation, I'm suggesting that we vote on the motion. If it goes through, we task our chairman and our vice-chairs with studying this matter and coming with an alternate proposal to be put to the committee at the end of business at that meeting.
I'm sure they can come to a resolution. Every point that has been suggested is valid, but they've all been a little different. If the people who disagree and have other suggestions had presented other suggestions, we'd have something on paper to look at and maybe vote on, but we've only had one proposal put forward in bilingual form with 48 hours' notice.
