Madam Chair, I don't mean to be a fly in the ointment here.
The witnesses are here to participate in this important meeting.
I realize that committee members will want to debate the motions, but I'd like us first to wrap up the meeting with our witnesses. It's a matter of respect toward them; they've come here to testify.
Then we can debate the motions. We're here to discuss francophone students, but we're debating a motion relating to Ukraine. The witnesses are here and it's important to listen to them. They've prepared for the meeting and we must show them some respect.
