Mr. Chair, with all due respect to my colleague Mr. Fergus, I have no doubt that he is capable of speaking to us for many hours and telling us the same thing 338 times. He already commented at length on this motion last week, I think it was, or the week before. He is telling us that he's going to do the same thing again.
Mr. Chair, I think that obstructing the work of the committee is neither democratic nor respectful of the parliamentary process. It is quite the opposite. I say to Mr. Fergus, with respect, that I find the process disrespectful and unworthy of the work of this committee.
So, since Mr. Fergus has already “spoken at length”, to use the same expression, on the motion in committee, I think he should give way to the next speaker so that we can finish up and vote on this motion, Mr. Chair.
