We've only had a few minutes to discuss the issue, Mr. Chair. I just want to make this point to my colleagues, and it is this.
A motion like this, if it were adopted and if it were implemented immediately, might have unintended consequences. You might think you can go in and simply eliminate these costs, but what if you found then that the services that are provided by the coast guard suddenly were diminished in accordance with the reduction in the funding available? That's not outside the realm of possibility, and I think the public would not be served in the manner you're hoping if that were the consequence.
