I'll try to be a little briefer than the parliamentary secretary.
Look, we had my bill. It didn't pass. Although I was skeptical, there was a tour of the biotech industry, and I think thanks to that we have been able to flesh out aspects of the biotech industry. One of the things that we've seen in the last while with the witnesses is that a number of people explained the urgency of the situation in regard to alfalfa. We're not talking about GE...we're talking about alfalfa and its effect on farmers.
So I think it would be appropriate for us. This is an urgent situation. It's more urgent than any other potential GE crop. The urgency is there.
For example, I'm willing to defer my motions. Perhaps, in the spirit of cooperation, all members would be willing to do this. Let us hammer this one out and vote on it, and then we can come back.
I'm willing to let other members have their motions discussed after that. I have no urgency for my other motions. I think it's crucial that we have a chance to debate and vote on this motion as soon as possible.
