Mr. Chair, I agree with your point that Mr. Bachrach should certainly wait until his time comes to speak to bring about his motion again.
However, I am concerned that the minister is not here today. The motion we passed specifically referred to the minister appearing here. It is the majority of members who asked for this. I don't want this to become a concerning precedent that when the majority of members of our committee pass something, it is not seen through within the committee.
I'm also worried, on a larger scale, that this is following the precedent of the government House leader who decides, even when called, who shows up and who doesn't. I think it's very important that if the majority of this committee pass a motion, the contents of the motion should be followed. I want to stand in solidarity with my NDP colleague there.
It's very clear. When a motion is passed, the majority of the committee members have spoken. What is outlined within the motion should be executed.
