Mr. Chairman, I'm criticized for going back over an already established agenda. I will point out that we are here precisely because we've done it. It was agreed that we would complete the clause-by-clause consideration at our Thursday meeting. If we want to reverse our agenda once, we can do it a second time.
The study is completed, and no further witnesses are scheduled because that's not necessary. Parliament has already studied this bill in the last Parliament. In 2004, the members of this committee voted unanimously in favour of implementing the Refugee Appeal Division immediately. We clearly have before us a dilatory manoeuvre by the Conservatives. We can understand why they are opposed to it, but we don't understand the Liberals' cooperation. No meeting of the Subcommittee on Program and Procedure is scheduled this spring or summer. At best, that takes us up to the fall. You can see that the sole purpose here is to push back adoption of this bill by a number of months, whereas it's been awaited for eight years.
For all these reasons, I think this is a good opportunity for the Liberals to show their good faith and to support this motion so that we can finish with this matter and refer the bill back to the House.
Mr. Chairman, I'm going to request a recorded vote on this motion.
