Chair, I would then ask that the committee consider now this point. Regarding the timelines on this, which were done in a way that I think we all agree are rather short—indeed, almost unprecedented—suffice it to say that I'm not here to challenge you, and we appreciate the opportunities you've given on latitude, but the reality here, sir, is that this is a matter that does deal with science and technology. It has a number of implications for science, but more importantly, a motion would probably read in the fact that we would then request the government to reverse its position.
I think it's very clear on the record that what is not allowed to be discussed here, as a result of your ruling, is in effect permitting the government to provide less comment, which is injurious to one side. I don't see how that benefits industry. I don't see how it's not relevant. Of course, we have a difference of opinion, and you're the chair, but rather than create a commotion about this, suffice it to say that I think all members would want to be ready on Tuesday for a motion that will have the effect of asking the government, notwithstanding the decision by the chair today, to reverse the position that gives only 15 days for one side to comment.
