Mr. Chair, I'm sort of taken back. The government is to respond to what? This is a motion. It's going to go to the House to be debated. The government already has the response, because if they wanted to do something like this, they would have done it already. We know the government response.
So the words “allow the government to respond” are just stalling tactics by the government members. The government has the opportunity to respond. This will go to the House, and let's debate it in the House.
