I couldn't agree with you more, but we have a process and rules, and we follow the process. Our plan was to hear from the witnesses first, then do our committee business after because we know some of the witnesses have already been bumped once. Out of respect, we wanted to do our witnesses first, but members have the right to raise issues and move motions.
I'm going to call a vote on my ruling.
(Ruling of the chair sustained)
Sorry, Mr. Poilievre. We understand. I know you've been passionate about this for years, and I respect your bringing it forward.
Now we're going to hear from the witnesses.
Welcome to the committee. Some of you have been here before, so welcome back. To those who were bumped before, we're glad you're here to make a presentation to our committee on pharmacare.
We're going to hear from Mr. Keon from the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association.
We're going to try to limit your remarks to five minutes so that we can have questions.
