Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree with what Mr. Moore said. Yes, we did receive NDP‑2.1 a few moments ago, and right after that we received an amendment to it. In fact, it is a well‑drafted amendment to the amendment. We can see that it wasn't drafted on a corner of the table. So it's probably been available since this morning, or even for a few days. I'm a little surprised to receive it at the last minute. It's really not easy to work like this. I find it regrettable.
If we want to work properly, with all due respect for democracy and the intelligence of the people sitting at this table, we would have to postpone this until after break week. That being said, I also understand that this will not be accepted. Mr. Garrison is obviously going to oppose it, along with the Liberals, and this meeting is going to drag on for an unknown amount of time. I don't like this situation. I want to work seriously, and I see that it's rather difficult to do so under the conditions imposed by the Liberal Party and the NDP—perhaps I should say “the New Democratic Liberal Party”, I don't know.
Having said that, Mr. Chair, if we are to continue the meeting, I will have questions for the two witnesses who are here today so that they can enlighten me on some aspects of the motion.
