Well, Mr. Chair, Monsieur Laframboise has said very eloquently the concerns he raised at that time. Monsieur Bélanger from the Liberal Party raised similar concerns, and so did I. It was premature.
That's why I don't think it's appropriate to throw it out with a minute left in our committee meeting, prior to the bells going off and prior to us going to the House to vote. From all three parties on this side of the table, we raised concerns about it being premature. Some of us may end up supporting the motion, some of us may not, but I think it is fair to say all of us agree that it was premature to present it at that time. To throw it out now is premature and I think inappropriate.
There's got to be a debate. We've raised concerns, and Monsieur Laframboise has said very eloquently that there are some questions he would like to ask about the effect of this motion. So I would just ask Mr. Fast to hold tight and allow the committee to do some work around his motion, if he really wants it to be adopted in the end. If he doesn't want to see it adopted, that's another thing. But if he wants to see it considered and adopted the way we all requested at the last meeting, he should allow the committee to have a bit of a process on it. And Monsieur Bélanger is not even here.
