Is a delay tactic such as this not votable? We watched this in the softwood lumber debate, and it was simply a ploy to slow up the process. I thought that most politicians here recognized the need to get this through. If one member of the committee wants to hold up this entire committee for an opportunity to grandstand, can we vote on this, Mr. Chair, whether or not all of this needs to be by recorded vote?
