Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I actually follow the logic proposed by Mr. Lake in this regard in that the time allotted will be equitable to Mr. Regan in this regard. He will have the same amount of time as the other parties would have, which is a special allotment for a single member to have the same amount as a party.
To Mr. Angus's comment, I've been here for just over six years, Mr. Chairman, and what I would point out to Mr. Angus is that as members of Parliament, we can have those very discussions Mr. Angus has proposed outside of committee time. I would encourage Mr. Angus and any members of the committee who want to discuss matters related to this bill to have those discussions. We don't need to have them as part of clause-by-clause consideration; we can have them as members of Parliament any time between now and the final clause-by-clause consideration.
As I said, that's entirely appropriate. In my experience, Parliament does work that way. We do come to agreements as members outside of committee, which we then endorse during committee time. I think that's entirely appropriate.
