Again, if we are going to go through the time and effort of having a study on this issue, it is incumbent upon us, and I would just ask government members.... I think the optics of voting down this request—especially since we're giving the chair the authority to schedule this at his discretion—would be pretty poor for the government side. There are a lot of questions to answer, and having three government statements at 10 minutes a pop really won't leave a lot of time for questions by the opposition. I don't imagine the government members being particularly hard hitting on this, so I would like to have more than one round with each minister. That's really what this amounts to.
I would ask that they put the issue of optics aside, and, if we are going through the expense and effort of this study, to support this motion.
