Yes. I did not move a motion, it was the member in question who did so. All I did was move an amendment to his motion. We are debating the amendment, but ultimately, we will be debating his motion. I did not stop to allow committee members to ask our witnesses questions, he is the one who interrupted our questioning. Once we have finished debating the motion, we will see what happens. During that time, I cannot run the risk of sending the witnesses away, in case I win the debate and get a majority to vote in favour of the amendment I have put forward or for any other motion that might be acceptable. We should not be wasting our time and we should be able to ask the witnesses questions. I repeat that I do not necessarily have any questions to ask them about the motion, but I will have questions for them later on, once we begin studying possible amendments to the bill. There are four amendments which I submitted to the committee some time ago. I would like to continue the debate and defend my position on this matter.
