Mr. Doherty is arguing—although perhaps he'll withdraw the point—that the committee doesn't intend to consider this matter, whereas we've all agreed on a work schedule. Mr. Hanley's motion, which addresses the entire opioid crisis, has been considered, and we were to discuss it on December 11 and 13. It's already on the agenda.
Mr. Hanley's motion is much more general. I've also read Mr. Ellis's motion, which addresses the opioid crisis. This raises an entirely technical question in my mind. If these two motions are intended to replace the motion we were to discuss on December 11 and 13, couldn't they be addressed at one of the eight meetings that we've scheduled?
I'm aware that we don't usually address routine matters in public, but we're working very hard. We've spent many meetings organizing our business, and this evening we're being told that we want to take up the opioid crisis, whereas it's already on our agenda.
I submit that to you, Mr. Chair. I would like to have your decision on those two technical points.
