Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be very brief.
We could just vote on this matter, and we could get back to the witnesses. This idea that there are procedural shenanigans afoot and they're on our side is quite shocking.
My goodness, we absolutely want to hear from the witnesses. In terms of the grandstanding, it's almost laughable for me to hear the Conservatives speak in this way. I'd love to give them the opportunity to continue to speak on their expertise and knowledge and how much they support indigenous communities, because I think that it's important and that it should be a non-partisan issue.
I want to know why they're so opposed to the chair showing us respect. This is a very simple motion that we could have been able to get through as a committee. We want to be prepared. We want to be here to put our best foot forward for this important study.
Again, Mr. Brock's idea is that we have these open days on these break weeks. These are constituency weeks. We have very specific meetings scheduled with organizations and entities. I'm supposed to be at an indigenous social work conference right now, which is really important to me as well. Your disappointment is well placed, I think, with yourself.
I would really like to close this matter, get to a vote and absolutely hear from these incredible witnesses who have come forward today.
Thank you.
