The reason I connect it directly is that this motion, obviously, had some coordination...in order to keep your parliamentary secretary, because parliamentary secretaries are the decision of the Prime Minister; they're not the decision of the minister responsible. We've seen where it's been known that somehow the agreement with the Bloc on Bill C-9 has been.... The Prime Minister's Office said publicly in a news story that they weren't consulted. I certainly hope that's the case, because Mr. Kelloway brings so much to this committee when he's allowed to talk.
Mr. Chair, there is so much that I want to say in regard to this motion. I think that the Drivers Inc. part has been improved, so Conservatives can certainly support that end of it. Going to a port study, as I have said.... Considering how many reports this committee has done, we want to see the Drivers Inc. study go forward.
We have been listening to Mr. Lauzon and raising points of order on relevance and repetition so that we would get to the main motion. I understand how members could be frustrated, even with my discussion here thus far, which I would not say has been lengthy. It may feel that way to some members, Mr. Chair, but if we measured my time compared to Mr. Lauzon's time to make his points, I would say that I'm but a speck—a speck like a piece of sand in the ocean that Mr. Greaves did his beautiful video from. I'm almost in tears, Mr. Chair, because I miss Mr. Greaves. I haven't heard him for so long.
I would suggest, Mr. Chair, that in order for us to move forward, we need to see some substantive changes to this particular motion as it currently stands, so I formally move an amendment, and the amendment would add to the front end of the motion that's before us and go around. I'm going to read it out entirely from beginning to end.
I believe that our team has sent the clerk a translated copy so that it can be circulated, so perhaps everyone can read along. This is one amendment to the entire motion; we are not sending five documents as was done last time, which created much controversy.
