Again, we've just experienced something quite extraordinary here in the committee.
Ms. Church, you're proposing to delete 75% of the motion. There were 12 sentences, and you're proposing to keep three. That's your proposal.
Not only did you propose to delete section (b) in its entirety, which we agreed to do, but you're now proposing to delete 75% of section (a). You'll probably go on to make videos saying that we don't want to participate and that we aren't working collaboratively. However, from the start, your proposals have sought to make ours insignificant enough for you to be able to ultimately say that we voted against them. You're basically proposing to take away 75% of the work that we believe must be done to make the government accountable.
Today, people are looking at us and wondering what's going on in these parliamentary committees. What's going on is what we've just experienced today, once again. Not only did you move the committee meeting in camera last week and not only did you ask us today to delete section (b)—which we agreed to do in the interest of collaboration—but then you were ready to delete 75% of section (a) right afterwards. Your documents were ready and you knew where things were going. You don't want to work in good faith, so you come with the proposal to delete 75% of section (a). The only words remaining would be “That the committee”. I suppose that you should be proud of this. You're proposing to leave just one short sentence. You'll then hold a press conference to tell the world that the Conservatives are the ones opposing it.
Honestly, this is a sad state of affairs. The collaboration was there. We wanted to work with you. We've done this before, and you're doing this. So keep at it.
