Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I like almost everything I've heard coming from the other three corners of this table. I certainly agree with Mr. Brison that my motion doesn't preclude a broader study on Canada-U.S., as you're proposing, Mr. Chair.
The reason I'd like to move the motion forward today is that on Thursday I'll be doing critic-related work in Vancouver on the Paralympics. Next week I'll be doing trade-related work in South America. So I won't actually be at the next three meetings of the committee.
I'm hoping to raise it today, not for a long, drawn-out discussion, but if there's a consensus and everyone agrees to moving forward with the idea that this is part of a broader study on Canada-U.S., then--
