Will we apply the Simms' principle? Are you okay with the Simms' principle here?
I just feel compelled to respond as the person who presented the motion at PROC on the very matter you are discussing. I just want to make clear that the motion I presented actually brings the matter to PROC, while the case scenario you're describing has the same result.
The reason I brought that motion today is that I believe it's the committee's right to determine the priority of the issues that the committee discusses. It was not the motion but the amendment to the motion in the House of Commons that actually directed this committee and decided what I believed was this committee's prerogative, which is to decide the priority of the matters we discuss.
The matter in the House of Commons today is a very serious matter, as is what we are discussing here. I just want to go on record as saying and making it very clear that I brought that motion because, in my view, it's this committee's prerogative to determine the matters and the priority with which we deal with those matters.
Thank you for letting me intervene.
