Mr. Chairman, let us remember that this is a motion asking that the Committee study the way the Enabling Accessibility Fund has been managed. The purpose of this fund is to help organizations supervise their work, in particular with regard to the persons with disabilities aspect. The purpose of Mr. Komarnicki's amendment is to limit debate on this matter to a single meeting, once our work on the study on poverty is finished.
Mr. Chairman, I do not know if Mr. Komarnicki still wishes to maintain his amendment, but my suggestion, with all deference and much respect, is that we deal first with the main motion. We will then be able to decide how much time we want to devote to it. It seems to me that this motion has two elements to it. It would be difficult to determine now how much time we would devote to this. Furthermore, the matter to be discussed is sufficiently urgent for it to not wait until the end of our work on poverty.
That being said, once we have disposed of my motion, if the Committee agrees to it, I would suggest that staff provide us with scheduling options, in order that we not encroach on the time set aside for our study on poverty. My intent is not at all to delay the study on poverty. To the contrary, you know how much this is important to us. We must ensure that both issues are harmonized and are not in conflict one with the other. I am not excluding the possibility that we only devote one meeting to this matter. However, we must not limit ourselves. This would handcuff us at the outset and deprive us of a tool that might allow us to do our work properly. This is not something we should be doing, in my view.
