Chair, the parliamentary secretary raises an important point.
I see that there are two motions. I wish to thank Ms. Brunelle for tabling the first one. I see that the motion is almost identical to the one tabled previously, in which, according to members of the Finance Committee, was adopted.
I now understand that there are problems of interpretation within the Finance Committee which means that a solution will not be reached for another day. In the meantime, although I accept the principle which has just been laid out, and I may perhaps support the motion, I find this a bit difficult, because aside from Technology Partnerships Canada, all other programs must be driven by the Department of Finance. If possible, I would like to defer debate on this motion—I know that this is at the discretion of Ms. Brunelle—until we can determine if indeed the Finance Committee has done the same thing. To my mind, the most appropriate committee to deal with this motion would be the Finance Committee, but I agree to having a debate on this matter. I would like to wait until tomorrow and I would like to ask Ms. Brunelle to postpone debate on her motion until tomorrow, unless it has already been adopted within the Finance Committee.
