Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Time is the key factor here. It's important for us to manage the committee's agenda. During the previous Parliament, the committee adopted a substantial number of motions of this nature relating to studies and reports that were never started because there was no time for this. We can always pull the figures.
I don't know if it's possible to move a motion of this nature or how we could go about it, but perhaps this motion should be referred to the subcommittee for review along with all of the other items it might want to consider. The same goes for motions 1 and 4 from Mr. Karygiannis that deal with some interesting topics. If the committee sat 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it might then have enough time to deal with everything. But eventually, we will need to make some choices or, at the very least, set some priorities.
As far as the committee is concerned, it would make more sense and it would be more efficient for us to refer all of these motions to the subcommittee, along with all of the other priorities that have been set and the other items selected by each party for discussion. We could combine all of these elements and move a motion as to what we plan to study, and when, and then adopt the motions. We could adopt hundreds of motions, but it wouldn't get us anywhere.
I'd like Mr. Karygiannis to agree either to wait until the committee has spoken, or to refer the motion to the subcommittee. Perhaps the clerk could help us out with that.
