I'm not sure dealing with them as motions necessarily serves our purpose here. Remember, each of the motions doesn't address the issue of priority. I would imagine that all of us would agree that most of the studies being proposed in these motions have some merit. I think the real issue is what priority should we place on each of them.
I do agree with the chair that perhaps we could continue the discussion. If we're going to do this on a consensual or collaborative basis we don't necessarily have to bring each motion forward. For example, if I brought forward the clean technology study under the motion that I provided notice for, it's an up or down vote. Your side might vote it down as a study that you would like to do but maybe not as a first priority. Voting up and down on that motion doesn't help us with that process.
I think you're right, Madam Chair, continuing the discussion on an amicable basis, even a show of hands, do we have consensus here that we'd like to do specific studies? Let's figure out which one we would like to do first, second, and third.
