Madam Speaker, the complications of the relationship between Canada and China are dealt with in a number of different ways. A multitude of ministers, from the Prime Ministerto several other cabinet ministers, deal with them. A number of standing committees also deal with them, and I believe we are moving forward. My concern, as has been expressed and we tried to address, is to get the official opposition to recognize that, while the principle of what is being talked about within the motion is good, the issue is why there is a fixation on a specific date.
Could the member provide his thoughts on how that takes away from the motion itself?
