While I'm new to the committee and there are more experienced committee members here, I'd like to start by saying to Mr. Kelloway that, of course, we are collegial. That's why we adopted your motion with the order in which you proposed it. To make a statement that we're not being collegial is unfair.
Second, in terms of the questions about flexibility, we know, for example, that in the minister's mandate letter she's been asked to table a bill and legislation on amendments to the Oceans Act. We expect legislation, Mr. Chair, as you have said, and that takes precedence over anything—even the first motion.
In the order of collegiality we are always open to amending the committee's order of study because of legislation, other urgent things, or as the ground shifts over time and something comes up. Obviously we can't predict even past June what we all will be facing, so that flexibility is always there, as Mr. Kelloway says.
In the interests of collegiality, as I understand, that's the way the committee has operated in the past and this motion does not change that.
