Mr. Chair, without belabouring the issue, any delay we have in passing the estimates does not give the approval of the spending in the supplementaries that is needed to carry out the programs we've already discussed here today, whether it be money for the Wheat Board—which the member who is complaining now and wanting to delay the process was ardently defending when I chaired the special legislative committee on the Wheat Board.... He was an ardent supporter of the Wheat Board, and now we need some transitional funding for the Wheat Board and he wants to delay the passage of those supplementary estimates to provide the funding for that transitional process to make sure that the Canadian Wheat Board is there for those who choose to use it.
All of the changes that are needed here in the supplementary estimates to provide for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, for farmers, for business risk management programming, need to be passed. I see this simply to be a delaying tactic, a stalling tactic by the opposition.
Mr. Chair, I also have a question about Mr. Valeriote's motion. He brought forward a motion to not do something. I would like to find out whether that is actually in order. It seems to me that Mr. Valeriote is just making things up as he goes along and was not prepared in any way, shape, or form for this meeting from the get-go.
