It was simply to collaborate with Mr. Motz.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Here's what I wanted to say, and I'm not happy about it. If we continue in this vein, I don't know when we'll be able to ask the government to produce the documents we want. In all likelihood, we would receive them in the middle of the summer when we're all on holiday. It should have been done today, in my view. I don't see why we couldn't do it right now.
Last week, we decided that we should hear witnesses today and that it was urgent. As it turned out, they couldn't come. We therefore heard other witnesses. Now we're putting off until next week the appearance of those it was urgent to invite last week. We keep putting things off and getting nowhere.
We need to come to a decision on the motions that were suspended. We could toss them out. I'll give my opinion on the motions when we are debating them, but as to whether we are going to reject them or adopt them, I think we should do it now.
We had a problem earlier. Witnesses were telling us that they couldn't answer certain questions or commit to producing documents. If the legal counsel we need to hire had been with us we would have been able to deal quickly with these matters.
Whether to reject or adopt these motions, I think we should do so now.
I suggest that next week, our priority should be to debate the suspended motions and then look at which witnesses we should be hearing and when.
