Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will be voting against this motion, too, for those reasons. I think it's clear that there's no sense in bringing the minister down. Mr. Cannis has made some fine points. I don't think it's our job to invite the industry minister, but if we as a committee decide to do that, I think that's a wonderful idea. I agree with Mr. McTeague that there are many things we could talk to him about and ask him. So at the risk of having a committee...and I think it was also suggested that Foreign Affairs was the more appropriate committee, that makes a whole lot more sense.
Let's continue to do the good work we're doing. Let's not have a committee tied up with what I really think is going to be a waste of time. Let's do something constructive. If we do invite him down, let's talk about things that we all need to talk about.
