Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I was originally intending to speak to the motion, but I'd be glad to speak to the amendment, because I think it gets to the heart of the mandate of our committee, and that is, to listen objectively to the input from the many witnesses that we heard over the last day, on Friday, to reflect on that, and then to ask our analysts to provide a summary of what the witnesses said. As with all the committees I've ever served on, Mr. Chair, there are a series of options that give the elected members of Parliament, who are the ones who need to come up with a conclusion.... It should not be a foregone conclusion by any one person or any one party. It's very important that we allow the analysts to come back with a summary and at least two or three options that the committee could consider and then hopefully adopt the one that will be the clearest for the way forward.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
