Folks on the other side of the room suspect we're trying to waste time.
Mr. Chair, it's important to understand that our purpose as parliamentarians is to do our job. As politicians, we're always going to be doing politics.
That said, no matter what we do from this point on, the Liberal government will always accuse us of trying to waste time and playing politics. All the members over there, or at least most of them, have said they weren't in favour of the Governor General that their Prime Minister, their government, appointed. I think it's important for us to study that appointment so we can understand what happened and fix the process for future appointments. We need to have a vision.
As my colleague, Mr. Beaulieu, said, we won't be taking this time away from the study on the education continuum, which just started today, because there's no date in the motion. We have to approach this with the right intention.
I like the folks over there well enough outside of our parliamentary debates, but, unfortunately, I find this attitude on the part of the government and its representatives unacceptable. They agree with the motion, but they won't support it. That's not logical.
