Mr. Maguire seems to have misunderstood my comments, and I seem to have misunderstood his comments. We both agree with Mr. Davies' suggestion that we should consider each party's priority before preparing an interim report. However, he's moving an amendment that contradicts this idea. I don't support this amendment.
I agree with Mr. Davies' idea. It would be worthwhile for the analysts to provide a summary, which we could work on separately. We could then address the topic of vaccines, then the topic proposed by the Bloc Québécois, and then the topic chosen by the NDP. We could then table an interim report. Rather than having a big document to work on afterwards, it would be good to receive a document that we could enhance at each stage. That way, once we get to the meeting on the interim report, we would save a great deal of time. That's what I said.
Since I support Mr. Davies' proposal, I don't see the need to hold meetings next week in order to work on an interim report before we move on to another topic.
We don't want to stop anyone from working. I'm not questioning the motives of my Liberal friends. They want us to keep working. I assume that they're acting in good faith. I believe that we can prepare an interim report only after each party has determined its priority.
I want to remind you that the motion passed in the House involved a study on COVID-19 that included topics that we could propose. We decided to start with mental health, and that has now been done. We can move on to another topic. We'll also be effective when the time comes to prepare an interim report.
In short, I don't understand why Mr. Maguire is moving this amendment.
