Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm not seeking to prolong the agony. I'm in agreement with Monsieur Ménard that we should proceed to a vote. If Mr. Moore is concerned about the numbers and the math in terms of when we should have the vote, we're very fortunate to have our full-time, permanent chair here today with us in the chair.
That's why, Rob, we're absolutely looking forward to taking the vote shortly. If you really thought it was a matter of having a vice-chair in the chair and having a vote, there wouldn't be six of you sitting on that side of the table waiting to sign in when your chair evacuates.
Mr. Chair, I would really urge you to proceed to the vote. It's amusing, this discussion. I'm not hating it; I just think it would be in the interest of all of us if we got back to the work this committee should be doing. And I remind you, Mr. Chair, that this is why we have offered to have one or two sessions on the Cadman issue, extra sessions, and not take away from the committee's work. That's why we find it regrettable that we keep arriving at this dead end.
