I just want to mention a couple of comments that Mr. Easter made.
I think it's not a question of debating the issues, because we've certainly done that. It's been a question of priorities. It's been a priority of our government to try to get this APF organized and get it in place, and it's been a priority for us on this side of the committee table to try to get the committee out and to do these hearings as soon as possible. That could have been done six months ago.
One of the reasons travel was approved so quickly is because we were so late in the season we were able to convince the people who need to be convinced that we had to get out and get this done or it would have been too late. Here we are again, sitting in a situation where we are going to have some delays because the opposition doesn't want to deal directly with this today. We think it's important that we go right to the APF report and work our way through it. We probably could have been, what, five pages into it by now if we'd just passed the motion at the beginning of the meeting. I don't think we're the ones who can be blamed for holding this up. We brought what I think is a reasonable solution to the issue, and unfortunately it seems that the opposition doesn't have an interest in that solution. I just want to make those points.
Mr. Easter is right. We've talked about other issues at length, but the problem has been that they've become a priority, ahead of the APF, for the opposition, and that's been a concern to us for quite some time.
