Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome back on committee to my Conservative colleagues who I know have actually done good work here. I'm glad about that, because the previous two Conservative members who were here gave me quite the concern.
In fact, one was abusive to the point where you, Mr. Chair, couldn't control the microphone. I want to note that, because that member went on to party with people in this community. It was well noted in the media, but that behaviour here was a concern to me, because we literally lost our rights with a member turning the microphone on and off at a whim's notice without you having control. Hopefully, the new Conservative members will contain their excitement at committee and actually follow the chair's order.
I did want to note that, Mr. Chair, because that was something that was exceptional at the last meeting. I was going to bring a procedural motion. I'll hold that procedural motion in abeyance at the moment. I know that the colleagues who have joined us now actually have a history of participating very well in this committee.
I appreciate the motion, but I guess what I'm concerned about is that New Democrats presented a motion on Monday. Perhaps the members aren't aware of it. I'll read it into the record again. I believe it's important business that should actually be before this, because it was presented first. Second of all, the motion we have here, as the parliamentary secretary has identified, there are some issues, and I am always open to anything. It seems to be more of a fishing expedition, in some respects, versus the factual motion that I have that deals with Canadians at the moment—
