Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, I tabled an AECL report a few weeks ago. I tried to put one together and after a discussion with the committee members there was an agreement that we have a comprehensive report. Let's make sure there's substance and we listen to witnesses and let's look at it from a holistic approach, a non-partisan approach. We just spent the last few weeks examining witnesses. We and all the party leaders have indicated this is a good initiative.
I think it's a sneaky way of saying this is short-term or this is what the recommendation needs to be. We're going to have a comprehensive report. I agreed with the committee after the debate to table my AECL recommendation in exchange for a full report. I'm surprised Mr. Trost is changing his mind, because he tends to have a very open mind and is able to work with his colleagues, but it's up to him: it's his motion.
I wanted to make it very clear that this is an attempt to shortchange the report the committee's doing, and if he wants to table it, we're not going to be supporting this one-dimensional, short-sighted attempt at presenting recommendations after the weeks of study the committee has done.
Thank you.
