Far be it for me to make assumptions, Mr. Chairman, but Mr. Julian tabled this motion several weeks ago and its consideration has been systematically deferred. Now, on the eve of a one or two-month break, we're saying that it is going to be deferred once again because we don't have a report from the researchers.
When the Liberal Party was in office, members were sufficiently informed. Therefore, I don't think we need to do the research over again. When the Conservative Party was sitting in opposition, members had ample opportunity to gauge the situation in the apparel and textile industry.
I think that Parliament needs to send out a fairly clear message at this point in time. This motion, however it may be crafted, sends a clear message to Parliament. I believe that message must be conveyed immediately.
While the House breaks for two months, some people will be not be on holidays. Nor will we be, for that matter. Drawing inspiration from this motion, they can work on finding possible solutions to this crisis situation.
