Thank you.
There is one study that I feel there is a consensus on, and that is the first study proposed by Mr. Amos. I didn't want to raise it earlier, but Mr. Amos suggested that there was a consensus on the other two and that his motion reflected a consensus. It may have been a Liberal consensus, but I'm not sure it reflected a broader committee consensus.
But on the study of parks and wetlands and conservation and migratory birds, I sense that we do have a consensus. I would think that if in fact we can agree that there is a consensus on it, we should make that our first study. I still have to be convinced of the other two studies that Mr. Amos has proposed, but I'd put forward the clean technology one as well, which obviously I would be in favour of.
Let me add one other point. It has been mentioned a couple of times at committee today that since the minister is bringing legislation forward anyway, let's wait for that legislation to come forward and this committee will be asked to review it.
The problem with this—and I'm sure Mr. Cullen would share this concern—is that the role of this committee is actually to inform the work of government. Isn't that right?
