Mr. Speaker, House of Commons committees are already rolling and I would like to give one person's opinion of what committees are like:
O give me some pity, I'm on a committee Which means that from morning to night We attend, and amend and contend and defend Without a conclusion in sight.
We confer and concur, we defer and demur And reiterate all of our thoughts We revise the agenda with frequent addenda And consider a load of reports.
We compose and propose, we suppose and oppose And the points of procedure are fun But though various notions are brought up as motions There's terribly little gets done.
We resolve and absolve, but we never dissolve Since it's out of the question for us What a shattering pity to end our committee Where else could we make such a fuss?
