Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll make a general comment. I believe one of my colleagues would like to talk to this motion specifically. My general comment is that of course all members here recognize what a busy committee we have. I know that we go into our subcommittees. We work very hard to establish the agenda, and as we look we plan right into the fall, so I'm very surprised to see that the NDP continually puts forward a myriad of motions. These are issues that haven't come up within subcommittee, and we have planned our schedule. It's very busy.
I'll let my colleague speak specifically to the motion, but I guess I'm a little disappointed. I think within our subcommittee structure we try to be reasonable and fair and accommodate in a fair way the interests of all the different parties as we look at the studies we're going to do.
