Mr. Chair, certainly I want to make sure that my words are not taken with any disrespect at all, because as you have said, and rightly so, every member has the right to move a motion and to interact with the committee as he or she sees fit. However, I think it is appropriate for us to think about the diminishment of our capability of getting on with the work on the schedule when we deplete our meetings on contentious issues that take debate.
