Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm not going to belabour the aspect of this motion, but I want to come back to you. I feel as if this meeting has been hijacked. And I want to say it in clear terms. My friend Mr. Coderre knew very clearly that the whole issue of committee business where we were going to entertain this motion was the 15 minutes toward the end.
We have significant officials here, senior officials, and we wanted to hear from them about the estimates, but instead we get mired in not an unimportant issue but one that was scheduled here. We've allowed this meeting to be hijacked, when we were here to hear officials talk about the estimates.
I'm quite disappointed this was the action taken for the purpose of what I can only feel is politics, when it was scheduled in this. And do you know what? At some point we have to take control of our own world this way, folks. It's really critical that we do that. Frankly, I hope we can spend the few minutes remaining talking to these officials and hearing what they have to say.
