Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to get on the record, as someone who signed the original 106(4) letter calling for an emergency meeting on this subject, that I do believe it's important.
In terms of how we schedule stuff, over the last number of weeks we have had three proposals from the Conservatives, including this one. A couple of weeks ago, we were debating a programming motion that would have looked at the rise in violence against women and also at the intersection between public safety and mental health. Last week in the House of Commons, there was an attempt to get the firearms study referred back to this committee as a priority, and now we're trying to establish this as a priority.
They're all good ideas, and I'm not criticizing them, but I think what's needed, Mr. Chair, is maybe an off-line or a subcommittee meeting. We need to figure out the calendar. I think Ms. Dancho has expressed frustration on this. We have all these great ideas on the table, and we've said yes to a number of them, but it can be a bit frustrating, and I share her frustration at times, when we're not quite sure how we're making decisions on what study is coming forward.
For me, I attach a lot of importance to our current India study. I'm the person who brought forward the motion to get it started, and I think a lot of people in Canada are very interested in that. I'm always a fan of trying to get current business completed, but I think there's room to possibly get one meeting in on this subject. I'm not sure, because we haven't had those fulsome discussions yet on how we organize our calendar.
That's just something for us as a committee to collectively think about.
