Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, I appreciate the introduction you provided at the beginning of the meeting, but for the sake of procedure, I move that the committee resume debate on my motion on the Canada pension plan, a motion that I first moved formally on November 6, 2023.
By way of background, I do think it is relevant to remind the Canadians listening, and even those in this room, that I put this motion on notice way back on November 2. I moved it on November 6, at which point we did have the beginning of a filibuster. I moved it again on November 9, which was followed by more than two and a half hours of a Conservative filibustering to avoid getting to a vote on this motion.
I certainly hope that now, after several weeks, members have come to the committee with either proposals for amendments or the intention to vote one way or another on this important motion, so that we can get back to the housing study that had commenced and was a productive use of our time with witnesses.
I certainly hope to come back to that as soon as possible, Mr. Chair.
