Madam Speaker, I want to pick up on the fact that what we are witnessing is very much an expensive multi-million dollar game being spearheaded by the leader of the official opposition to the detriment of the House of Commons' being able to deal with a wide spectrum of issues that are important to Canadians.
The Conservatives have brought forward today a concurrence motion that would have the report go back to the committee with the idea of being able to call specific witnesses they have an interest in.
The question I have for the member is this: Does he appreciate the fact that it would appear that the Conservatives want to send things back to standing committees in order to give more direction as to what the committees should be doing, as opposed to allowing them to set their agendas and do the things they want to do? In this case, the Conservatives are asking for a specific timeline also.
