I'm sorry if I said that. I will rephrase it: “Oh well, they couldn't make it, so we moved on. Now we're going to give drafting instructions.”
To me, that disrespectful of the larger obligation that we have as parliamentarians to hear the full point of view. We haven't finished the methane cap study; that hasn't been submitted. We haven't finished the emissions cap. The clock is ticking. I can't see how we're now going to say that we'll throw this to getting it drafted.
We also have that other report from the previous Parliament. We have outstanding reports that aren't done. We have witnesses who we haven't heard from. I don't see how we can say at this point, when we haven't met the test of holding 10 to 12 meetings, that we're ready to just shut this down and try to get this out the door. It makes no sense to me, and it's not credible for the work that we need to do to reassure Canadians and to provide the government good, strong advice on something as important as the just transition study.
