I am so appreciative of the concern that Mr. Keddy and Mr. Kramp have expressed about our support staff, including the clerk. In fact, in part that was the motivation for my suggestion.
As Mr. Comartin pointed out, given that we have 24 hours in order to bring amendments, if we go to clause-by-clause on Monday, the 19th, whether it's in the morning, the afternoon, or the evening, that will require the clerk's very possibly working over the weekend, whereas if we only begin our clause-by-clause on the Tuesday, the 20th, in the morning, that will allow the clerk the entire business day of Monday, the 19th, in order to do the preparatory work so that the committee can in fact begin clause-by-clause on the morning of the 20th.
However, I do take note of this serious concern. I share it, and as a result of that, given that the committee appears to be in favour of attempting to do as much clause-by-clause at the front end in terms of the earlier date rather than the later date, I would propose changing my proposal so that this committee would begin clause-by-clause on Tuesday, November 20, at 9 o'clock, would sit until 1 o'clock on the same day, and would resume clause-by-clause again on Tuesday, November 20, at 3:30 in the afternoon.
