Mr. Chair, I think it's important to remind members of the committee of the nature of routine motions. They are common to all committees of the House of Commons. That is why the whips are in full agreement on a number of issues, to ensure that everyone has a voice at the table.
All committees are indeed masters of their own domain, but we should not go overboard with routine motions, which are common to all committees.
I extend an olive branch to my dear colleague as a sign of peace. Let's give the whips' offices a chance to have a discussion on this particular motion and see if they agree.
