Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I find it almost appalling how our colleagues are using terms like filibustering and saying that we are going in a certain direction, and making all kinds of innuendos and casting aspersions about our wanting to do our work and to try to understand the matters are on hand.
All I'm saying to colleague Angus is that there are definitions within this act. I think we owe it to ourselves to be able to look at these definitions in light of the nature of the motion.
Do we really have the authority to be able to accept this motion as is?
Therefore, Mr. Chair, I'm going to turn to you and ask you to render a judgment call based on the interventions that were made. We have yet to get answers to the questions raised by most of our colleagues since last Thursday. Colleagues around this table have been quick to call this filibustering and to use sound bites. I get that, but, Mr. Chair, I think the time has come for me to ask you to consider if this motion before us, for all the questions that my colleagues and I have raised up until now, is receivable.
