Mr. Chairman, the parliamentary secretary's argument is weak, in my opinion. We've had time to examine the two bills and in my opinion, we've followed proper procedure. We've heard testimony from witnesses.
When a witness testifies -- and this has always been the rule -- it's important to have a purpose in mind. The government is proposing that we invite a minister here, without giving us a specific agenda. In my view, we run the risk of straying from the subject at hand. It's important, for government and opposition members alike, to be well prepared.
For now, the only motion on the table calls for us to hear from the Minister on Thursday. If the government has something better to suggest, then it should move a motion. At the very least, we need an agenda.
