Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I would be happy if the committee wanted to write a letter to the minister, to the Prime Minister, to the government. I think all of that is fine. I don't, on principle, object to the use of concurrence motions, but what we've seen is that every committee gets piled up with these motions demanding a government response and a debate in the House, and it prevents us as Parliament from doing other work.
I wouldn't assume nefarious motives, except that those motives have been clearly stated. It's been clearly stated that certain parties are going to do everything they can to obstruct the work of Parliament. As a parliamentarian, I don't think that's in the public interest, so that's why I moved that we remove that particular wording from the motion. I still think it's a very important topic, and the committee should express its view on it, and if it's the will of the committee, I would certainly agree to writing a letter to share the outcome of the vote on the motion with the government.
