Thank you very much.
I would like to put forward an amendment to delete the last two lines of this motion. Specifically, I'm looking at the timeline in which we're going to be pre-empting this study rather than doing the NDP study that was put forward.
I believe this is an extremely important study that we're talking about. Last week, when Ms. Qaqqaq put forward those motions, we know that, throughout the entire study, we had not heard too much specifically on what we need to do for indigenous languages. That being said, we do know that the minister could have put things like this in the bill, knowing the importance of it. Minister LeBlanc could have put something in there to make sure that this wasn't happening so that, when these amendments were put forward last week, it was not outside the scope of the bill.
Ruby, I know that was a very difficult decision for you to be in, because it's a no win, to be honest, when you look at that.
I would just say that we should not put the timeline in front. This is something that the minister could do with the support of members of Parliament, but we should be doing the work that this committee just suggested we should be doing as well. We do know that we have privilege motions still sitting on the table waiting for us. Kevin Lamoureux is sitting there waiting for us. Will Amos is sitting there waiting for us. I'm sure, by the way things are going, that we may have more by the end of the day, such as the information that came out from yesterday's health committee. We know, at the end of the day, that it, too, may be coming to us, so I'm very concerned.
I'm saying, “Minister, please do your job so that PROC can do our jobs”. Thank you.
