Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to apologize to the witnesses on behalf of the committee. I don't know what else to do other than say sorry.
I want my fellow committee members to know that this is disrespectful and unacceptable, as far as I'm concerned. We have witnesses who have come here to share their heartbreaking stories, and this is where the discussion has gone. Giving notice of a motion is one thing, but monopolizing the discussion for 15 to 20 minutes is another, and it's absolutely unacceptable.
While I have great respect for the chaplains, I'll be voting against the motion because it falls under the purview of the Department of National Defence, not the Department of Veterans Affairs.
I think we should vote, Mr. Chair.
