Mr. Chairman, you're being asked to set a totally unreasonable precedent. I submitted the motion to the clerk last Wednesday for distribution at last Thursday's meeting. A certain amount of time has passed since the motion was tabled. Everything was done according to the rules. Moreover, Mr. Fast admitted that the motion was placed in his files last Thursday. I think that proves most of you received it. I don't see why we should wait another two days to consider a motion that was tabled in accordance with the rules of procedure of this committee and that is by no means revolutionary in scope. I don't see why we would agree to a further postponement, since everything was done by the book. Therefore, I ask that we vote today, perhaps even right away, in fact, on whether or not the motion is in order, so that we can proceed with our discussion.
