I see Minister LeBlanc is working on bringing Minister Rodriguez onside for his campaign. He has not only begun his campaign; he's secured his first—I was going to say “high-profile endorsement”—medium-profile endorsement. I know Minister Joly thought she had Montreal wrapped up, but Minister Rodriguez may give her a run for her money.
Chair, I think I've just made the point in terms of what we should be discussing today. I'll say that Conservatives are happy to discuss the subcommittee report at a time when we don't have ministers. I would encourage the chair to schedule the resumption of discussion of the subcommittee report at the next meeting, so that this matter can be concluded. Conservatives would love to come to an agreement on the subcommittee report that leaves intact the various other sections of the subcommittee report as discussed but does include an opportunity to get to the bottom of some of these outstanding matters.
The amendment calls, in particular:
That the draft report on the transfer of Paul Bernardo be immediately distributed to committee members and that, notwithstanding any other items mentioned, with the exception of testimony by ministers, the committee not hold any other hearings or present any reports to the House until the committee has completed and presented its report to the House on the Bernardo prison transfer.
That's our position, and out of respect for the ministers' time and the important issue of auto theft, I move that we adjourn debate.
