Agriculture committee I want to say, Chair, that I'm disappointed that we've blown another meeting by going in circles on motions. The report sits here unfinished. I think it's worth reiterating that we in fact already voted on a very similar motion, Chair. It was my motion to seek different solutions

Agriculture committee Thanks, Mr. Easter. That wasn't really a point of order. But the point I wanted to make was that the money went to the wrong place, and Mr. Easter just admitted it. It's a wonderful program. But the money went to the wrong people, to the wrong portion of the beef sector. This mot

Agriculture committee Thank you, Chair. I don't think it's as cut and dried as the opposition is making it. In fact, Mr. Laurent Pellerin was in front of us and he said: As a farmer, I don't think we are expecting return on this $31.70, especially on the cow-calf and finished beef. This is testim

Agriculture committee Thanks, Chair. I'm not in favour of putting this motion in front of committee again. The committee has discussed Mr. Bellavance's motion. We already debated it. At the end of the debate, the committee decided to set the motion aside, to table the motion, as they say. But it'

Agriculture committee Thanks, Chair. Just to talk about what is trying to be done here, basically, as I mentioned, there were five motions in front of committee today. I tried to get us to focus on the report. That was voted down, so now we're going to be dealing with motions. I think we all showed

Agriculture committee No, I'll answer the question. Go ahead and finish it.

Agriculture committee Okay, Chair, I am glad to answer that. The answer is yes, SRM is an extremely important matter. That is why I brought forward a motion two meetings ago that we've all voted on and unanimously agreed to after we listened to our witnesses. Yes, we know we're going to get to Mr. Be

Agriculture committee Mr. Chair, can we have a recorded vote?

Pierre LemieuxConservative
Agriculture committee Thanks, Chair. I just want to highlight that the motion I put forward is meant to focus the committee on the work at hand, which is finalizing our report. As I mentioned, I think this is the underlying desire of all MPs around this table. It is not a partisan motion. It throws n
