May I finish speaking, please, Mr. Chair? Thank you.
On the day the honourable member submitted his own motions, which we supported wholeheartedly, I asked him then if he would look at amending his motion to include this. It was already a written motion, and was sent out. He said no. He declined at that time to even consider it. We asked for it to be considered later on. We were told it would happen. It is only now coming to be discussed here.
The point is that we are not the minister. The minister and the department cannot intervene and interfere with the CRTC. However, we are Parliament. We are representative of Parliament. We are an all-party committee, and therefore—The CRTC is responsible to Parliament.
This is a process motion. This is not a motion that reflects on the CRTC. It's simply accountability, for a process that is open.
