Thank you, Chair.
There was a direct question put to me by the parliamentary secretary for the environment in terms of moving this motion. The one exception I might make to this is my question to you earlier about the committee that you're suggesting the House send it to also being in filibuster. I'm not sure the government today can give us any insurance at all that that committee would not also end up in a logjam.
We've been at this one part of the bill for seventeen and a half hours now. In order to facilitate our moving beyond this and getting back to the environment, which this committee is meant to do, I would like to move a motion to strike out “the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs” and just allow the House and the chair, the Speaker of House, to select a special committee in order to do this.
Without the assurance of that other committee not also being delayed, I don't think it actually meets the recommendation that comes from you, Chair, which is to try to break this logjam.
I'm prepared to move the motion, if you understand my direction with what I'm trying to do.
