I decline.
I have a question to the clerk on that, Mr. Chairman. We do have a dilemma. I think we would have been willing to deal with Bill C-29 and look at giving it passage by this committee without a regular chair.
You are a vice-chair, Mr. Bellavance is a vice-chair, and Larry Miller is the chair. The committee cannot function, as I understand it, unless somebody accepts a nomination to be chair, is that correct?
So if we don't have anybody in the chair, then the committee cannot function unless somebody is willing to agree to accept the nomination to chair.
We are missing Mr. Bellavance and we're missing Mr. Miller. I submit that the reason we are missing Mr. Miller is the kind of game directed by the PMO that we're seeing in terms of this motion.
We need to have a regular chair.
