No, that is not what I am recommending we do, Mr. Chair. I believe that we should debate the motion today and vote on it. I have been a member of this committee for four and a half years, and similar recommendations have been made during that time and even, I believe, for the past 25 years. It is quite within the mandate of the Committee on Official Languages to make such recommendations; that is what we are here for. Otherwise, in fact, we lose our very purpose.
