But I just want to make the point that there is no redundant report at all. Some reports are used by people. Yes, we did a report years back after 9/11, and you were on the committee that I was chairing at that time concerning Canadian relations with the Muslim world...and it is still up to date with some of its motions.
The other day you were chairing a farewell lunch for the ambassador from Morocco, and he talked to me about this. This was tabled in July. We didn't have the election before the fall. That means the department had all that time it needed to come back with some of the answers or responses from the government. The only thing we want is a response. If the response is no longer up to date, we're just going to respond that it's not up to date, and it's up to them to respond to that.
To me, a report needs to get an answer from the government. It's as simple as that. Now, if some of the members aren't sure they can agree with it because they were not here in the last Parliament, they just need to abstain. But for me, we're not going to discuss.... The report was already done. We took so many months just to come out with a report. At that time...just go through it and that's it, and we'll ask for a vote on it. We are ready to ask for the vote on the report.
