I would like to look for some direction from the clerk. Concerns have been expressed that perhaps an agreement could be struck while we are continuing this study, and that's why the desire is, apparently, to inform the House that we're conducting the study. I don't think anybody.... Maybe I shouldn't presume that.
I certainly would not want three hours of debate on what we intend to do. I agree with Mr. Pallister there.
Is there any way we can satisfy both--just inform the House what we're doing, but not needing their direction on how to do it?
Just as a final clarification, I take exception to any member suggesting there's any intention on my part with any amendments I have proposed this afternoon as working to try to get a compromise. I think there has been some strong language all around, and I think we should just cool our jets. Let's try to compromise and work this thing out.
