Mr. Chairman, I made my comments with all due respect. I believe there are other times when you have intervened in the same way and that we have felt restricted in what we could say.
Under Mr. Hoback's motion we would travel in April. I don't know why it has to be in April but what is certain is that we have a two-week break in April. I can tell you right now that many activities have been planed in our ridings. It would be very complicated for me to go out West during the break. I know that this is my personal point of view but there may be other members of the committee who will be in the same situation.
If I am to vote in favour of the motion, I would like to table an amendment that would remove "in April" so that the trip does not take place during the two-week break.
