Be careful. You may regret that, depending on how this conversation goes.
In terms of the way the committee has been going and the calendar of events and how they've been chosen, there hasn't been, I would suggest, enough communication about what's been happening. So sometimes committee members have been blindsided by things. I don't think it's appropriate to move a motion at this moment and to start talking about where things are going.
You've made a suggestion that at the next committee meeting we spend some time looking at the various scenarios and options. I will submit, though, that the simple delaying and filibustering of a bill cannot be supported. It sends a signal to all parties that in order to bump legislation off the calendar, all you need to do is talk the clock out over and over again and jump ahead to other studies and start looking at other things. There was a consequence of government members choosing to waste, in a sense, three committee meetings talking. The consequence will have ripple effects down the line on other things the committee was hoping to get to. I assume that government members understand that, and that the consequences should follow the natural course of events.
If we spend time on Wednesday talking about what makes the most sense in balancing things out and we recoup lost committee time, we would look forward to that conversation.
