Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This discussion, presumably, has happened extensively in Parliament, because the member voted for the budget implementation measures and the other actions that removed this funding. At that time he must have had confidence and have had a full debate and full questioning and all the benefit through his caucus and through Parliament, to know about these things prior to removing the budget.
It seems to me we're at a little bit of an impasse. But let's say this motion went through or a motion resembling this. It goes through and it's reported to the House and then you have that debate. You have that full debate in the House of Commons; it continues the process. It seems to me that we're at a little bit of an impasse, and perhaps the wording here isn't the best advisable wording for a motion or a report of a committee. But if we go through the process and the member challenges the chair and if the opposition votes against the government and the challenge wins, then that motion goes through.
The alternative would be to have unanimous consent and give the member a few minutes to rewrite the motion in a manner that might be more acceptable, then that it be presented at this very meeting of the committee. In that sense, it might be a better way to move forward.
