I am concerned that this will delay our study of Roxham Road. In my view, this study is as topical as today's motion. In addition, the committee voted unanimously in favour of the Roxham Road motion. It is rare that our committee members unanimously agree on a particular issue.
I don't know how we can go about this in terms of procedure—as is well known, procedure is not my strong point— but I would like to find a way to alternate the two studies. Does anyone have an idea on how we could do this?
Should we remove “November 4” from the motion?
The motion states, “...that these meetings be televised; that these meetings occur at the earliest opportunity possible and no later than November 4...”.
I believe that if this date is kept in the motion, it will mean that we will have to postpone our study on Roxham Road. In my opinion, if we removed “and no later than November 4, 2022”, we could conduct the two studies alternately.
Next Tuesday we have a steering committee meeting to organize our schedule. At that time, we might find a satisfactory common ground.
What do my Conservative friends and those of the other parties think of this?
