Chair, I have a hard time understanding what happened in the vote, because we had a discussion in which Liberal members said they wanted this study to happen on student unemployment. They got the adoption of their amendment, which extended the study until September 30, yet they still voted against the study.
If we're serious about addressing the issue of student unemployment, we put forward a motion to do that. Then the Liberals amended this motion, and then they voted against it anyway. That's pretty surprising.
I don't want to sour the first meeting by suggesting that there was insincerity, but can we come to some kind of understanding about whether you want to address the issue of student unemployment or not? We're interested in doing that. If that means meeting in August or in September instead of in July, that's not my preference, but that's okay. However, you just voted against studying student unemployment at all.
Can we come to some understanding, or do we have to go out and observe that there wasn't interest in studying this issue after all?
I hope we can come up with something together, so I'll put it out for discussion.
