Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I generally agree with the contents of the motion. We can definitely condemn or express our displeasure with the findings of the work we've been doing.
I would, however, like to suggest an amendment, which is to take out the reporting back to the House portion of it. This committee can easily write a letter and express our point of view without having to report back to the House. That gives the Conservatives a break from their filibuster, which has been going on for 37-38 days. They have used committee reports for that partisan purpose in order to give themselves a little break and waste the time in the House. I don't think we should be giving them that opportunity.
I strongly feel that the content of what Ms. Rempel Garner has suggested is something that I can get behind, certainly, but not to report to the House. I'd humbly amend her suggested motion to delete the portion that says “report to the House”, and I would be happy to debate that further.
Thank you.
