Mr. Chair, after having heard them say perhaps a million times in the House of Commons that committees are masters of their own destiny, I think enough of a pattern has developed in these proceedings today to draw the conclusion that the Conservatives, whose bill this is, and which they are not even speaking on, are clearly not wanting to speak and are continuously referring to the group of experts here today.
At the very least, could I ask that, when we make votes on the rest of the clauses today, they be recorded votes as a minimum?
And of course, I would encourage members of the Conservative Party, whose bill this is, to stand up and defend it. This is, after all, the foreign affairs parliamentary committee.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
