Thank you for that, Chair.
This speaks to the motion. I think the concern raised in the amendment as presented, with respect to the dates, was that we will not be able to have any meetings. However, what point 9 says is that, unless it's a 106(4), no meetings can be called. Yes, emergency meetings can absolutely be called. I would want them to be called on a matter of urgency.
The matters outlined in this motion are important. They should obviously be studied and discussed. What I'm proposing is something all parliamentarians can come together on, regarding a plan.
I don't agree with Mr. Nater's amendment with respect to the dates, because I feel I need to spend a lot of time with my constituency. I want to see my constituents on a regular basis. I barely get to see them on just weekends. This work is important, but it is not urgent enough for us to take time away from our constituents just so we can come back to this. I think we'll have ample time in the new year, once the House resumes on the 27th. I believe that is the first date the House sits again. We can resume our parliamentary duties when scheduled by the House of Commons.
I don't think we need to make this an urgency to the detriment of our individual and collective constituents.
Thanks, Chair.
