Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. I certainly will. Basically, on prorogation and where we stand on prorogation, we thought we were making progress in terms of the Parliament of Canada. We brought forward our ask in terms of amending bankruptcy laws to help protect pensioners. We thought we were making progress with NDP bills tabled in the House of Commons, and also Liberal bills tabled in the Senate.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. So that's just cutting to the chase, right? The hiatus did us no favours. Time is not our friend in terms of the bankruptcy proceedings. They're continuing at their own pace. We spent something close to 100,000 hours of volunteer work in NRPC, working to see if we could better the outcome, and it was galling for us to have the government go into hiatus for that period of time.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's fine.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I appreciate how hard-working the MPs are.
