Mr. Chair, I am quite uncomfortable seeing all these motions coming one after another. I am not sure that the amendments are really acceptable. The amendments change the original motion so much that we are now suggesting the creation of a subcommittee. That has to be considered a major commitment. I was part of a justice subcommittee that held more meetings than the aboriginal affairs committee. Sometimes, you bite off more than you can thought you could chew at the outset. We have to decide what we are committing ourselves to when we consider that.
I had the pleasure of joining this committee last year. It was studying gasoline prices. At the end of the day, it achieved absolutely nothing. We heard from a large number of witnesses. I remember proposing it myself. It seems to me that this committee is doing endless studies that are leading absolutely nowhere. I see it as just a way to avoid doing something. I am very reluctant to spend taxpayers' money. I thought that the Conservatives were good managers. I am shocked that you are suggesting that an expensive subcommittee do a study that will achieve nothing.
The Bloc Québécois had a solution: the Competition Act. Members of this committee did not agree with that solution. We are going fishing with no idea whether there are any fish in the lake. Personally, I am not in favour of this motion.
