Thank you, Madam Chair.
It isn't a matter of not being willing to work; it's simply that there's only one item on the order paper. It's a matter of due process here. We were convened today to be constituted as a committee. Now that we're constituted, motions can be filed with due notice, etc.
We could have.... I suppose it's at the call of the chair. You could say that the next regularly scheduled meeting will be a planning meeting where we can talk about future business. But already we've had two items kind of sneak on to the agenda, one a very minor issue that Chris has raised, which I'm happy to agree with, but also this motion that we should be dealing with a report from the last session of Parliament, a report that none of us has seen.
There's only one thing I would suggest in order to expedite things further. Now that the committee has been constituted, there's nothing stopping the clerk from circulating a draft of that report so that we might read it over the weekend. Then, after the planning meeting on Monday, perhaps on the following Wednesday we would be in a position to discuss that.
