I would like to have the opportunity, before 5:30 p.m., to move a motion to extend time and ask for that unanimous consent. If the intent here is to filibuster, or not, I don't know.... I'm not going to play that game. But I want to make sure that I get the chance to move a motion that we extend the debate until necessary to complete our schedule.
We'll need unanimous consent, which was granted to move out of camera by every member here. If people aren't serious about having this vote right away, and then followed by another vote if it doesn't pass, I'm hoping that we sit here and finish it. If we do not, that means nothing gets studied, not the CRTC decision, not the Investment Canada Act, and not Stats Canada--nothing gets done for another day here in Ottawa.
So my hope is that, at least procedurally, I have the opportunity before 5:30 p.m. today to extend indefinitely until we finish our schedule. I think it's reasonable that for two hours the committee could actually write a schedule, and apparently we're getting dangerously close to not doing that.
