Mr. Chair, you know as a farmer that you need to get the harvest done. You see the clock ticking and you have to make tough decisions. I think we should get these motions going here and get them done. If not, by Friday...well, I don't know if there'll be much shaking of hands, but we'll just leave. We won't have the report done. The motions won't be done. I might as well bring in the rest of my Christmas cards and sign them for the next three hours and make some use of my time while I'm here.
We have an hour today and two hours on Friday. I think we have to change the direction of the wind here a bit and get it done. Mr. Chair, I think you should try.
At the last meeting I chaired, maybe I should have been a little easier on the opposition and let them debate their motion, but I pushed through two motions and they were voted on. The Conservatives won; that's the way it rolls. You can't always have it the way you want it.
That's my suggestion, Mr. Chair. Maybe we can limit some debate here and get these motions done.
