It's a matter of process for me, Mr. Chair. I'm new to the committee. I didn't realize that anybody could bring a motion forward at any time, and I'm really asking what's going on. I thought we had something of a list of topics we were going to be discussing. My understanding was that the Arctic was an issue we were very concerned about.
I sit on the committee for transport and infrastructure. We have just gone through clause-by-clause debate of the legislation to extend the Arctic waters. There has been considerable discussion in the House today, with representations from all parties, on issues related to infrastructure in the north. It would seem to me that this is an area of focus for us. I'm wondering how it is that we can move so easily off our agenda on to another issue that really hasn't been put forward before and that I would think should be part of a larger discussion.
