Thank you. It's much appreciated, Madam Clerk.
I would like to begin by saying that in good faith, we agreed to the previous amendment proposed by the same member. At this point, it would seem that there is going to be a litany of new amendments at every turn.
I believe calculations have been made and it is now the 16th hour of debate on this same motion. We have all agreed on many occasions that the important work of this study is being deterred. I would urge all members to move simply to vote on this motion, which has dragged on in debate for far too long.
I would not be supportive of this amendment, as I mentioned on a previous occasion. I believe it was at end of the last meeting. Not only would there only be further amendments should we agree to this amendment—that is obviously quite clear at this point—but moving an amendment that would essentially defer the matter to after a report from the subcommittee is presented to this committee will only engender another endless filibuster on behalf of the Conservatives.
I am not supportive of this particular further amendment.
