Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. Thank you for committing to attempt to bring forward a calendar. We very much hope to have a chair who resumes that practice. It was quite helpful. It actually ensured that we were an efficient committee who really got into a lot of issues.
Again, we support the motion. We really have no reason to put additional remarks on the floor. We've addressed why this motion was brought forward. That's why we support the amendment from the NDP. In our minds, it was implied that we were going to continue India. We had agreed to six meetings. But we appreciate the clarification, which is why we agree with Mr. MacGregor's amendment. We are happy to proceed.
Again, unless there are more efforts to filibuster this from Liberal members, unless they're saying that they don't agree with this motion, then I hope we can go to a vote, set this schedule and get to the reason for today's meeting, which is the Standing Order 106(4) letter, as you well know, Mr. Chair.
I do hope we can come to an agreement on this motion. In terms of how it was framed, I've certainly seen far more partisan motions in my life. It was an effort to get everybody to agree to something. Certainly, I very much hope we can do that. Hopefully, we can finish the Bloc Québécois study, because that was an excellent study and certainly an important issue. I recognize that this has sort of derailed a little bit of the time we would have had. I think we'll need a little bit more time than what was scheduled, but hopefully we can get a study across the finish line. That would be great.
I will conclude my remarks, Mr. Chair. I do hope we can come together and agree on a plan forward. That's certainly the object or the goal that we had in mind here. I hope we can proceed to that goal and vote soon, hopefully.
