Thank you so much, Chair. In the last opportunity I had to speak, I forgot to congratulate you on being appointed chair. I wanted to make sure to do that. Again, I apologize for having to leave the room and have some discussions.
At the end of the day, this is an important motion for me and for all of Parliament, I believe. We were very careful in the drafting of this motion to make sure that it doesn't change the Standing Orders. It really looks at the reality of this current Parliament and is respecting, really, the work the Conservatives did in their Canada-China motion. This is a motion that just allows for a role for all the official parties in the committees to do the important work they have to do. This is about making sure there's an equal voice and giving an opportunity for all voices to be heard.
Again, I want to reiterate that this is really about this specific Parliament; that's why we worded the motion.... I hope that people can move forward and support this motion so we can get to the important work that needs to be done to begin the committees in this House, which are waiting anxiously to do the important work before them.
