Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This will be relatively short, and it's partly personal, but I think it's not just me on this committee but others on other committees as well. To make a point, at the beginning of this meeting I couldn't say anything because I was not subbed in. I'm supposed to be a permanent member of this committee, but I'm not until it gets past the procedure and House affairs committee. I suspect there are other members of other committees who are supposed to be there, but will have to sub in every time until somebody stops blocking the procedure and House affairs committee from reconstituting the committees.
I'm not raising this as a question of privilege, but it does make it a little awkward having to be signed in every time before I can participate in the meetings. I am sure there are other members in other committees who are in the same boat. I want to make the point that we need to stop the games we're playing with at procedure and House affairs and reconstitute the committees so we can get on with our work without having to play games every time, following procedures, which aren't silly but made necessary by the blockages we've had at procedure and House affairs.
These games need to stop now, to let all committees get on with their work the way it's supposed to be done.
With that, Mr. Chair, I'd be happy to go back in camera.
I would move, Mr. Chair, that we move back in camera.
