We agree with the new motion. I have a little problem, though, and I think all opposition parties have. We were pleased to sit down with the parliamentary secretary to try in an informal way to come to an agreement without being hampered by motions and everything else. We appreciate the negotiations that went on, and especially the input from Malcolm Allen, whose first motion was the one that provoked this result.
I question the initial words of Mr. Anderson, however, because they make it sound as though the opposition was delaying the hearings. That is not the case. The filibuster that occurred was by a government member. We tried to work out the scheduling and the timing for his motion. I don't want the record to be misconstrued.
But I can tell you that we on this side support the motion, and we'll do our best to hear all the witnesses prior to June 10.
(Motion agreed to)
