If that's the case and this isn't a routine motion, then I'm hoping that it and the other motions that were important and were brought up before will get back into the same priority they had been given. Nothing has happened that reduces the urgency of those motions. We should have the same order that prevailed before, get those motions dealt with quickly, and then move on to that report. I think that report is important.
I would urge the chair to do one more thing. Maybe I don't understand parliamentary committee protocol enough, but on any board where I was either a chair or a member in the past, before becoming a member of Parliament, the chair had the authority--they used it judiciously, but they had the authority--to say that we're not going to have any more discussion about this.
You needn't fear being accused of being partisan. We know very quickly where a lot of us stand on a lot of issues. We know very quickly. Yet we choose to continue to debate and debate, going on endlessly, wasting a lot of valuable time and a lot of dollars, frankly, at taxpayers' expense.
Having said that, I would ask...and I believe that we can deal with these motions. We can deal with the rest of the committee work, including the completion of that report. I will honour your decision, whatever it might be, when you say, “We've had enough discussion. I'm calling the vote.”
