Madam Chair, for the people watching at home, I want to comment on the remarks by Mr. Arnold and Mr. Small. The original motion by Mr. Deschênes basically said that we should invite representatives from Fisheries and Ocean Canada. These are the officials they want to hear from. When those officials are in the room, the opposition will be able to ask all of the questions they want of them about the report or the progress, or whatever, that has been made on seals.
I just want to make sure that people at home understand that the officials are already coming. Members will have time to ask questions of those officials. This is why we're saying that we don't need any more time. The officials will be in the room and members will be able to ask questions.
I hope we can move on all of this, Madam Chair. It's 6:12 right now, and I think you were willing to end early for the people who have to catch their flights and leave on Thursday. Thank you for doing this, but I think we have to move on it.
