I agree with the points Mr. Davies has made.
As I said, I have a question for the parliamentary secretary. Can he explain fully to me why this is necessary and why this approach is new to this government? If it's not the exact wording, Mr. Chair, it's exactly the same principle as what happened at the Canadian Wheat Board committee. You know that. Deadlines are imposed, proper debate is not given, and parliamentarians and parties.... You're shot down to parties now. We're all elected in our own right, but you're down to parties.
Can the parliamentary secretary explain to me why this is so necessary? I assure you that this is going against the grain of gaining cooperation and understanding from the public and from at least this party.
