In the interest of time, I'm not going to rebut Mr. Lake's long political statement about the accomplishments of this government, because I know he probably sincerely believes that. Seriously, I think it's entirely appropriate for this committee to study this motion. I have no question about that. I also think it's appropriate for the finance committee to do it. They've determined they're going to do some kind of a study on the motion that involves hearing some witnesses. I would like to table this, but not indefinitely.
I would like to ask our chair to discuss with the finance committee what their schedule is for examining this issue. If we don't think that will happen on a fast enough timeline, then maybe we should be doing a study on this issue. I think we should put a timeline on when we're going to bring this back.
With regard to Mr. Lessard's point, he's correct that our leader has been very front and centre on the manufacturing crisis issue. We do believe it's a crisis. He's put some ideas out there, and if we do discuss this motion, we will have some of our own ideas that we would want to put in and discuss back and forth. I'm sure that among us we could come up with a very reasonable motion that would go to the House. That would take some time, but we're prepared to engage in that. I do think that since Finance is looking at this first--and I think Ms. Sgro actually proposed a motion to table in her comments--I would like to add to that motion, Mr. Chair, that we have some kind of timeline on that. Perhaps it would involve your discussing with the chair of the finance committee when they're going to have a look at it. Maybe you know that now?
