I think this is out of order. Here we have the parliamentary secretary coming forward with work that she and her ministry should be doing. We heard today that they're not out there consulting. They want to tie up this committee with their work. We have work that we want to do—work that we bring forward as individual members of the House. That's what committees are about, from what I understand. I prefer that we look at work that's being proposed by individual members of the committee, rather than work that the parliamentary secretary is trying to get us to do for the ministry.
