Of course, Mr. Chair. I indicated at the beginning of my comments what I was doing. I was trying to look at the pros and cons of going forward with this amendment compared to the original motion. I believe that to provide comparative context I have to provide both sides of that argument and try to understand the other side of the argument. That's what I'm trying to do, Mr. Chairman.
Although I appreciate Mr. Valeriote, I would suggest that maybe he put his BlackBerry down and pay attention to the full context of my speech, and then he would understand what I'm speaking of. Probably he's reading something from his leader telling him try to force an unnecessary election on Canadians right now.
I have a motion before this committee that was ahead of this one.
