Mr. Chairman, unfortunately I disagree with Mr. Lee. I find the motion to be a good one, for two reasons. First off, it is our responsibility to express wishes, and it is absolutely appropriate for us to adopt motions. This motion invites us to take note of a phenomenon: members of ethnocultural communities need public services to adjust to this new reality, from all of the testimony we've heard.
It is true that when the chairman reports a motion to the House, parties may ask to debate the motion before the House, but that would certainly not be a waste of time, because it is an important reality to acknowledge. We shall see what parties make of it. Either way, our committee has not been excessive in this regard up until this point. We would support it with pleasure and thank Ms. Jennings for having made the effort of drafting this motion.
