Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree with my colleague's remarks. I think it's obvious that our colleagues on the other side don't want to have these witnesses appear before us. However, they're witnesses who decided to leave a board that was set up and that seemed very important to the government. It was the co-chair of the organization, a highly renowned climatologist, who decided to leave.
Our colleagues don't want to hear from these two witnesses and they don't even want us to adopt this motion. I don’t think that is consistent with their alleged desire to accelerate the fight against climate change. I think we should move to a vote.
I thank the clerk for informing us about March 26. If this date is a problem and needs to be changed because the Thursday ends up being treated like a Friday, obviously, we can just remove the date without any problem.
I won't propose an amendment to Mrs. Anstey's motion to set a date, because there’s a bit of confusion about whether that date would work. Let's adopt the motion and get to the crux of the matter. I know my Liberal colleagues would prefer we didn't. They clearly want us to waste our time talking about a motion, instead of hearing from very relevant witnesses who are highly renowned in Canada. It's very surprising to see my colleague act this way.
