Yes, Mr. Barlow, I understand the sense of urgency but putting an artificial date with no consultation.... I'd just like the opportunity to go back and see if we can make it happen.
I know we're in the midst of this crisis. I'm sure we can get a briefing at some point, but while our officials are dealing with the situation in B.C., I don't know if it's the right time to get them in front of our committee right now. I would just like to get some time to go back and see if that can happen before December 22, or if we can be a bit more reasonable and at least extend the timeline so that we can get to somewhere we can work with. It has just been dropped. We've just been made aware of this today in terms of the timeline, and on top of that we're dealing with two emergency issues.
I'm wondering if Mr. Barlow has some leeway on his motion, or is he dead set on that?
