Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I'm a bit lost, which is not an uncommon thing in this committee or other committees.
On Mr. Desjarlais' motion, I appreciate, as always, his middle-of-the-road interventions to try to move the committee forward.
There's nothing in this motion that satisfies us in forcing a summons. I'm left with the impression that the government side is just filibustering for the sake of filibustering to kill off the committee. Mr. Desjarlais's motion just says to reinvite, and the committee reserves the right to summons, which means that we would actually have to vote on it, which means we would have to debate it, which means the Liberals could block it.
I know Mrs. Shanahan is next on the list. Maybe she could fill us in on their intentions because, again, Mr. Desjarlais' motion, if they support it, would achieve their goal, which is to not force a summons. Maybe the government side could enlighten me on what their intention is for the continued filibuster on a motion that seems to be what they've been proposing from the beginning.
That's all. Thanks.
