That is certainly not my understanding or the understanding of the other whips from the other parties.
As I said, to facilitate the progression of this meeting, I am happy to abdicate the chair for the purposes of taking the vote. If there wants to be a discussion about why you do not want an RCMP report on the effectiveness on the registry, then, as I say, I'll entertain that for the next five minutes, and then I'll abdicate the chair for the taking of the vote. Then we're going to be able to proceed with the witnesses.
On my list I have Mr. Rathgeber.
