Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm speaking directly to the motion, because the motion is predicated on the witness's statement that, given the resources he has, he cannot provide all the documents that have been ordered by the House to come to this committee. Ms. Rempel Garner's motion is an attempt to respond to that in a very responsible way by saying, let's prioritize them.
I support the motion, because I think we should prioritize them. That's a rational, reasonable and sensible way to deal with the matter, but I'm also raising the underlying question, which is, why isn't the government able to send all the documents, even if it is a million documents? That's a question of resources. It's a tough job to do, but it's not an impossible job to do.
I raise that for my colleagues to consider, in lieu of simply expecting the government to comply with the order. I suppose we can take appropriate procedures after that, if they don't. I think this motion is very rational and reasonable.
I'll conclude by saying that I listened to Liberals in the House oppose the motion in the House to produce documents, and one of their prime arguments was that there were too many documents and it would be too difficult for the government to comply. Here we have a motion in front of us that seeks to prioritize them and focus on vaccines and testing. Let's at least get those documents going, and we can give the government more time for the rest of the documents. Now I hear the Liberals saying they don't agree with that, so that's pretty tough to understand.
I'll be supporting this motion, and I thank my colleague for bringing it forward.
