I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the work from Mr. Vis on this, but here is what I fear in terms of where this goes. I believe it's really more about amending Mr. Lemire's motion versus Mr. Perkins' motion. I think you need to make a ruling on that at some point.
Let's get it and take a look. We have another 25 minutes here. I would like you to have a look at that because I don't want to get into a debate as to whether it's admissible if other members feel that way or not. I suspect, because of the way it's been done, it's kind of like the tail wagging the dog. Not because of Mr. Vis's work, but because of the way that things have evolved. It is through no fault of his own or that of Mr. Perkins or Mr. Lemire. The reality is that we already passed a motion. Again, I would rather clear things up and have a direct path after this meeting. If we don't, then we have to schedule another meeting and that means an even longer time to try to get witnesses for this. That's another lost opportunity.
I think if we are going to take a break, we only have a little bit of time left, and I would like to be cognizant of that. We have to pass something, or we come back to another emergency meeting as we try to continue to craft something as the time ticks away for the witness notifications that can take place.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
