Carry on speaking to your staff, Mr. Poilievre, and let me do my work. Thank you very much.
It is utterly mind-boggling that we have been given so little time to study this bill. All of the witnesses who have appeared before the committee have suggested amendments, and those who have still to appear will do the same. I would like to thank you for having proposed what I believe to be the most important amendment, that is to include a mandatory five-year review of the act, which will, inevitably, be flawed because we are being rushed in our study of it. Bear in mind that what you sow is what you reap. As I was saying, the most important amendment is probably the inclusion of a mandatory five-year review, as was provided for under C-11 last session. The Conservatives have not included a mandatory review because for them, Bill C-2 is equal to God's Ten Commandments.
I would like to hear your comments on the five-year review, the time restriction, the lack of preamble, and, time permitting, any other amendments that you believe should be made to Bill C-2.
