Mr. Chair, I would like to remind Canadians and all those watching that this is a motion I moved on Thursday last. I put it on notice a week ago today. It was moved on Monday. My colleagues clearly have amendments to this motion that they are withholding in the interest of getting us to vote on a second round of questioning.
I would like nothing more than for witnesses to be able to provide their testimony. However, I am asking for a reasonable explanation as to why my Conservative colleagues do not wish to step out of the room now to discuss their amendments, but rather are asking us to do so in the next round.
