I don't want to waste any of the goodwill, but I will just say that I used to serve on the public accounts committee. I know it's a space that tends to be, when it is operating at its best, less partisan than most, but the practice was always to have a subcommittee that planned meetings. I know that in the ethics committee, we ran into a challenge when the chair took it upon himself, even though it was within the Standing Orders, to call a meeting without any consultation with anybody else, particularly opposition parties. I would just say to you, John, that it didn't go well.
I would encourage, whether it be at this committee or others, the Conservative side, when they're chairing, to understand that without consultation with the opposition parties—in particular, the Bloc and the NDP—that, at least from my perspective, becomes a pretty significant problem.
I will take you at your word that that's not the case, and I look forward to seeing this motion passed so we can go back to our evening.
Thank you.
