Thank you, Chair, I'll be very brief. I didn't expect this to take the time that it has. There has been a lot of time spent by people talking about things that aren't actually the motion and people talking about other ideas for protecting whistle-blowers. I think there's a time and a place for that discussion.
We're dealing with a specific instance here. Two senior public servants came before our committee and gave very frank testimony, and almost immediately after that they faced severe professional consequences. I think this is a relatively clear and certainly pressing matter, so at this point I'd like to seek the agreement of the committee to proceed to a vote on this.
