Thank you, Chair.
I will note that the Liberals wasted two meetings filibustering our programming motion earlier this week. They also wasted meetings in September filibustering this. We wanted to have more meetings on PMPRB. I think this is one of those things where the Liberals are putting it forward because we did lose meetings.
For the witnesses who are here today, that is what happened.
I will note that the meetings that this this motion is trying to replace would allow any political party to put forward any witness they want. So if there are additional witnesses on any particular topic, political parties can do that.
The other thing I will note is that I tried to get the regulator in front of the committee today. We asked for anybody from the regulator to show up, and they declined.
I think this is theatre. We have a motion set....
I deeply appreciate the testimony of the witnesses, particularly by Ms. Little. I thought that your testimony was very compelling.
At the same time, I would also note that it was the members of the Liberal party who wasted two meetings filibustering a programming motion to which they didn't have any substantial amendments. The amount of heavy lifting that went on behind the scenes between opposition party members was enormous. We could have had another round of questions today.
I will be voting against this motion, because we literally just spent three meetings going through a programming motion that could have been condensed into five minutes of debate—so, no.
