Thank you, Chair.
What troubles me in this conversation about what Mr. Carr has said is that what's keeping the Liberal government from bringing water to first nations communities is this bill.
You've been in government for nine years and you still haven't got it done. You were supposed to get it done in 2021. Now you're pretending that this legislation is holding everything up. Your government could have had it done and should have had it done when you said you were going to have it done several years ago.
I would put forward to the committee that we do have witnesses here. We want to get to the legislation, to the amendments that we've talked about. Let's just get it going. Let's call the vote on the original motion.
