There is no conspiracy. We are setting an agenda for the committee.
Why would we vote on a proposal? It's up to all the participants to decide what our agenda will be. We cannot be presented with a fait accompli because it suits Mr. Angus, who wants to launch his study as quickly as possible.
We prepare ourselves before coming here. I, for one, prepare well in advance. I know that we have reports to study, which will not be fresh in our minds if we consider them in six weeks' time.
We already had a set agenda. We cannot play around with the agenda at will without consulting the committee. I do not think it is appropriate to do that. If we did, our agenda could change every week and we could move on.
Unless we discuss it in subcommittee and have time to do so, I don't see why we would vote on the proposal without everyone having had a chance to think about it. We're not going to vote five minutes before the end of the meeting.
