I understand that, but this was really a quick future business matter. I'll ask the clerk if I have any room to manoeuvre on this. If I do, I'm going to take it.
The intent here wasn't to delay the committee; it was just to make sure that we can invite the minister to discuss the supplementary estimates (B), because if we don't have a motion, we can't invite him to discuss them. I think it's to the advantage of the opposition that we pass this motion.
Therefore, I don't believe we should take away from Mr. van Koeverden's time, but I will ask the clerk if I'm allowed to do that.
