It was actually a helpful intervention. A wise salesman once told me that when you have the sale just shut the heck up.
If I do have the support of all members of the committee, then I will just put the motion forward. I did take my friend's intervention to mean that the Liberal members would support it. I do have past commitments from the Bloc and the NDP. With that knowledge, I'm going to just assume that everyone is still of the same view and I'll let my motion stand.
