Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'm somewhat concerned. When the governing members choose to adjourn a debate, I always understood that the motion can be reintroduced at another time, but I respect the ruling of the chair and the advice of the clerk.
I know we have a number of motions on the table. I want to apologize to the folks at the table today, because I think that what we are doing on this side of the table is trying to ensure that the voices of opposition members are heard when we're dealing with very important things, when we hear from witnesses who come to committee to provide us with testimony that is meant to give all members an opportunity to hear the facts. Then we can make decisions based on what we've heard. I know we're here to discuss supplementary estimates (A), but I guess I have no choice, Madam Chair, but to move my motion that was distributed to members on February 22, 2017, as follows:
That the Committee invite the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change to discuss the positive and negative impacts of the new federal carbon pricing strategy on the transportation sector.
I would like to give my rationale for that.
