As you're well aware, it's not done through press releases or through economic statements that take place outside of the House of Commons. It's done in the House of Commons. That's a tradition that took place under the Liberal government, and I hope that would continue under the Conservative government.
If we have systematic objection every single time by the Conservatives, every time a motion is brought forward that they're reporting it to the House, that is a major change in procedure for the international trade committee. It has implications.
The clerk indicated that the process for concurrence motions is fairly complicated and fairly long. It doesn't automatically move for a three-hour debate. What it does is provide some possibility for debate, given order of precedence, at some future time. All it does is to instantly inform all members of Parliament that we are conducting a study, and if the government does try to push something through, it allows us, as committee members, to put our motion in an order of precedence that may or may not result in a debate further on.
I would caution about adopting this amendment. It changes the whole focus of the committee, and I don't think that's in the interests of any member of the opposition.
