Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would just emphasize again that, for our committee to function and for us to be able to do the jobs that Canadians elected us to do, and for our leaders and our parties who have appointed us to these particular roles on this committee, we must be able to demonstrate that we can finish our work and give deliverables and outcomes to Canadians. We have backed-up studies and backed-up reports. The current situation of this committee is as has been described by common-sense Conservatives here.
I completely appreciate what my colleague, Mr. Simard, is saying, except that we haven't actually been able to complete and deliver on the series of work that we've been implementing here.
I would also just say, for the purposes of working together co-operatively—and, I'm assuming, with good faith—on behalf of the people who elected us here, that it just seems obvious to me that they would see that this is clearly about proper management of work and deliverables.
Also, however, for our work here, of course, Mr. Simard, the problem is that what you're suggesting is that perhaps Conservatives then could move motions at every single meeting about all the studies that we want to have on behalf of Canadians. I am suggesting that we all actually work together to map out this schedule properly, so that we're all clear, aligned and mapped out for our days and our work until Christmas so that we can actually get things done around here. Otherwise, you are then inviting every political party to just move motions every single day on the topics that are important to the people they represent in their regions. I don't think that would be a very effective way to operate in this committee, and I don't think it's what Canadians want or expect out of their elected representatives.
That would be my input.
