Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the comments made by Ms. O'Connell. I don't think anyone around the table underestimates the importance of this study, and that's why the original motion got a unanimous vote. I think it's important for the Canadian public listening right now to understand that all political parties represented at this table did support that motion.
A couple things come to mind, Mr. Chair. We have a subcommittee meeting that was supposed to be scheduled for the second hour today where we were going to meet to figure out our path forward. We do have two draft reports that I'm sure we would like to see completed, and there already have been a number of different study ideas introduced.
I want to make very clear that it's not that I don't see this as a priority. It's just that this motion introduced by Ms. O'Connell is forcing us as a committee into this binary choice, and I think we owe it to ourselves as a committee to have a discussion on the merits of all the motions on the table.
With that being stated, and with respect to what Ms. O'Connell is doing here, in an attempt to lower the temperature in the room and have a more fulsome discussion, I move that we adjourn the debate.
(Motion negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)
