On Mr. LeBlanc's point, we have witnesses who have come from away, and this is exactly in line with what I heard the Speaker say in his ruling, when he talked about disruption of committee, when he talked about the majority or minority on a committee trying to distract from what is our duty.
Our duty before us today is to study a piece of legislation, Bill C-27. We have witnesses who have travelled to bring testimony on Bill C-27. It would be a shame if we didn't first allow for witness testimony. The opposition inevitably knows where this type of challenge is going.
