Thank you, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to Mr. Gravelle for bringing this motion forward.
First of all, we are doing a fair number of reports right now. I was on the industry committee back in 2004 when we started doing reports that never got finished. That was with the minority government. My point is this: when we start to do too many reports, we begin to lose track of where we're going. If we take, say, three or four weeks to do this and then do the write-up for another two, it puts us that much farther from some of the other projects we started back in October.
I appreciate the member's compliments on the government's good programming. I'm sure the minister will take the NDP's endorsement for what it's worth, but I think it behooves this committee to finish some projects before we do it. We have some flexibility for some other small reports we're doing, but it's starting to bend too far. If you want to bring this back in June or next September, it might be more worthwhile thinking about it then. I just don't want to get us on too many reports at this point.
