Thanks very much, Chair, and congratulations, by the way, on your unanimous re-election. It was a tough race, but you made it.
I'm not on this committee, but it obviously affects other committees. I don't understand. This is obviously a fairly fundamental change to the way things are done.
I understand the rationale, but I'm just wondering, Andrew, why it would not be possible, in the spirit of cooperation, to leave this until next meeting so that the folks in my party could have a chance to coordinate a discussion on this approach, because it affects not only this committee but other committees. In the relative scheme of things, we're here for a long time. One more day probably wouldn't make much difference.
My question is whether it would be possible just to say that we can consider this. We were kind of caught off guard here. I didn't know of this, and I'm sure nobody here knew of this motion before. Would it not be possible to say that we'll just defer it, give it some thought, and bring it back at the next sitting of this committee? To me, that would demonstrate that at least there is this idea that we can cooperate in the name of getting some good business done, and not start off with the approach that this is thrown at us and now we have to make this quick decision. It just doesn't make that much sense to me.
As a substitute here on this committee, I want to make that comment on the record.
Thank you.
