I didn't think that was really over the top. I'm talking about what the committee business is going to be, what our approach at committee is going to be. Yes, it makes sense to have this discussion in public, because we are discussing priorities for what the committee is going to discuss. I don't think that's an unreasonable thing to do.
We proposed that we study the Investment Canada Act first, because over the long term that is a subject that members of all parties have said has some urgency behind it. The minister has requested that the committee study that issue as well. So I think members of all parties...in the interest of working together to try to find something that is important for all of us to work together on and to study, this is a good thing. I think this is the subject that is of critical importance to the country, and we can all agree on that.
Before we undertake a study of the CRTC decision, it's prudent to see what the minister has to say after his careful study of that decision. That seems to make sense.
We have private member's Bill C-568 before us. We may disagree on the merits of that bill, but it's important that we study it. We have a timeline of May 12, so we can abide by that timeframe by studying that bill once these other two issues are studied by the committee. I think we can all agree that they are important issues, and we've already come to an agreement that we want to study these things. Now we're just trying to determine the order in a way that makes sense.
