As I said earlier when we were in camera, even if Mr. Harris is right, it would not be in our interests for him to take time preventing the committee from debating the study. The goal of my motion is to encourage the minister to stand by his correct decision. As you say, I do not see why we would have a debate on inviting witnesses.
Mr. Trost, in other committees, the Conservatives have abstained from voting. You are in favour, you are against, or you abstain. If you want to be a team player, do not drag out the debate on this motion in order to delay our study on forestry. I am asking you this very politely and with all respect.
