I just want to make it clear that all of us have clearly demonstrated here that we would like to hear from the law clerk and any of his officials—which we can do in the context of the amendment that Mr. Martin is putting forward. We are all in support of hearing from this witness, and it is perfectly within our means to hear from him while beginning clause-by-clause on Wednesday. I don't want any members of the public to be under the false impression that all of a sudden it's impossible to support Mr. Martin's amendment because of this submission. We can do both. We can hear from the law clerk, and we can begin clause-by-clause two days later, giving all members—including those members—a full 48 hours to develop their thinking before clause-by-clause begins.
On May 31st, 2006. See this statement in context.
