I don't want to look stupid, but, as I am new, I don't have as much experience as my honourable colleagues.
It seems to me that the committee has scheduled a meeting for next week. In that case, I do not understand why we should wait until mid-August to discuss the motions. Personally, I was ready to do so today. I was about to table three motions, but I was waiting for my friend Mr. Oliphant to make his proposals.
Personally, I am prepared to table motions. There is a meeting of the committee next week. So I see no reason why we should not take advantage of that two-hour period, during which the resources of the House will be available as planned. I think it would be disrespectful to the duties we perform. We are paid to work and there is a sitting next week. I am prepared to table motions tonight. If there are others, we will discuss them next week.
I do not understand why we are already talking about the end of the session when we have two hours of work ahead of us next week. I do not know whether my honourable colleagues have any comments to make on that. Personally, I am ready to start now. We have to agree now, so that we can save time. Otherwise, we will lose two hours next week. I'm not sure I understand that.
Mr. Oliphant could explain it to me.
