I find it difficult when, with the support of our NDP counterpart, we look to adjourn the study into the changes that are affecting StatsCan because this study is so important that we can't take a two-meeting break, and then when we invite other people to come and testify, because this study is so important, we fail to invite those people to come.
These are people who have been appointed by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Innovation because of their skills, because of their experience, because of what they have brought to the table, and then members of the Liberal Party vote against their participation. Am I the only person who sees how ridiculous this is?
Either the study is so important or it's not. Which is it? If it is so important, certainly we want those who have been defined as the most skilled innovators in Canada at the table. It just makes sense.
If we're ready to move to a vote, I'm fine with that. If there are others who want to speak, I'm fine with that too. It's just strange to me.
