In the interest of trying to accommodate the concerns expressed in the motion by Mr. Crête, I wonder whether he would entertain what I would hope he would consider to be a friendly motion. Next week we commence a study of his concerns with respect to forestry and manufacturing, and he could incorporate that with Mr. Turner's motion, so that both studies would commence simultaneously.
Mr. Crête's motion calls for a significant expenditure on the part of the Government of Canada and may well be warranted. Probably, given the laissez-faire approach of this government, it may well be an appropriate motion and appropriate sums of money that he has allocated. But it seems to me that we should at least receive witnesses, at least study this matter, and that it should be connected to Mr. Turner's motion simultaneously.
