Mr. Speaker, I want to extend my thanks as well to the hon. member for Ottawa—Vanier. It is very clear that this motion before us is so vague as to leave substantial grounds for the concerns that I share with the member for Ottawa—Vanier and that the official opposition shares.
There should be no objection on the part of government members, if this is a question of accepting that we already have a yes for an answer, to accept the amendment of the member for Ottawa—Vanier and let the motion be clear.
I am sorry if government members do not agree, and I will ask my hon. colleague for Ottawa—Vanier if he does, but it is very clear that what we have before us amounts to a demotion of our House of Commons security team. It amounts to a very rapid decision to change the way this Parliament functions, and we have not had any adequate opportunity to see the evidence and hear from experts when we contemplate the best way forward.
We all agree we need a unified, single security force which is well integrated and can communicate clearly, one with the other, but this motion is unacceptable.
