Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to make sure that everyone who's watching this very important meeting today and this very important discussion understands that no one is saying that this subject is not an important subject. In fact, if you look at what the government recently announced with the summit, the government takes this issue very seriously, but we want to make sure that we are going to be receiving proper and factual information.
We, as parliamentarians, everyone around this table, are responsible. Our obligation is to always provide clear and factual information to Canadians so that they fully understand the subject matter. We can all sit around this table, filibuster and talk things out, but I don't think that Canadians sent us here with that in mind. I think Canadians sent a strong message when they said that they expect parliamentarians of every stripe—opposition members, government members—to work together to deal with very important subjects, such as auto theft.
Every single one of us around here is touched by increased prices of insurance. No one is saying otherwise, but we also have a lot of other studies and a lot of other important work that we have prioritized in previous messages. To drop that very important work that's already in the queue....
We have the high-frequency rail. We have the air passengers. Earlier, Mr. Bachrach spoke about his study on rights for passengers with disabilities. There are so many other studies that are waiting in the queue that are equally important.
The government is willing. The government has shown that this is a top priority for it, and it wants to get the proper information. We want to speak to the officials who need to be spoken to, to get to the bottom of this. Nobody is saying that we want terrorism financing to continue, obviously. This is not something that's acceptable to anyone, but we also have to make sure that we're giving the proper information so that Canadians know exactly what is happening.
From a policy perspective, if we don't have the proper information and facts, then clearly any policy that's put forth would be flawed. I know that I'm speaking for all my colleagues around this table when I say that this is not something that we want. We want to make sure that if and when this issue does come back to transport—and there's nothing to say that it cannot come back to transport at a future date, but let's not put the cart before the horse. Let's see what comes out of this summit.
The government came out and said that they want to bring all the officials and all the stakeholders together to talk about this issue. I think it would be wise that we wait to see what comes out of this summit. At the same time, we can continue to speak to our own stakeholders. We can have our conversations with the officials who are in a much better position to provide us with facts rather than just hypotheses.
With that said, Mr. Chair, I would like to move the adjournment of this meeting.
