First, Mr. Chair, I certainly support the motion. I disagree with the parliamentary secretary's points, but at least he's allowing the committee to stay in public for the moment. This has become a sore point with opposition members, Mr. Chair, on the point Mr. Keddy raises, on committees debating motions in secret.
I looked at the record for when Gerald and I were both on the fisheries committee. There were 30 motions and none of them were debated in secret. Motions should be debated in public, and we should continue to debate this one in public.
I'm just making that point.
