Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Cannings, for bringing this motion forward. I respect the passion you have for that part of the natural resource sector and your dedication to seeing those types of projects and the studies around them move forward. However, for the same reasons that I identified around time constraints to deal with the proposed motion brought forth by Mr. Strahl, I do not feel that it's the right time to bring this motion forward. We just voted on a timeline two weeks ago regarding what we are going to do for the rest of this year, so you've thrown this motion out knowing that we don't realistically have time to do it unless we offset all the stuff that we're already doing.
I respect where you're coming from, and I agree that it's an important topic. Personally, I don't believe it's the most important topic we should be talking about at this exact time. I believe there will be an appropriate time to talk about it. For that reason, I'm going to vote against this motion.
