Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Although I don't support this motion, we have the law clerk in front of us for an hour, as requested by the Conservatives—which we supported. We're happy to have you here today.
It's now 2:32 here in Nova Scotia, so it's 1:32 there. We're not going to get all the questions in that we'd hoped to get in, so this seems like just another one of those things thrown in the way—a monkey wrench in the middle of this.
I guess, with the 45 seconds or so since I've printed this motion and looked at, we won't support this motion. We also won't speak to it, because I think it's important—and out of respect for the law clerk—that we get rolling on this so that we can ask these questions. Probably a couple of members now will lose their opportunity to speak to this.
I will say that we debated this all day in the House of Commons and we passed it. I think we should respect the motion the House sent to us. However, like I said, I think the important thing right now is getting to Mr. Dufresne.
