As much as I find that attractive--I don't think it's a friendly amendment, it's a motion to amend, as I recall--I am anxious that we conclude debate on this. I don't understand why the government is not open to this suggestion. Let's face it, if the department has projections, it's only going to give us the ones it wants us to have anyway, right?
If they're saying that this is what we project for the mining sector and so forth.... There were certainly projections in the Prime Minister's speech this week, and I don't know what the reluctance is about saying that if there are projections available, we will include them with this.
What I would sooner do, oddly, is to say this: pass the motion as it was moved and have the committee request that we get those projections as well. I don't see what's wrong with doing that.
