From what I gather, Mr. Chairman, the government is intent on finishing by March 26. That seems rather clear to me. My motion referred to a two-week period for the drafting of amendments. Why not shorten that period? We could start hearing from witnesses straightaway or over the next few days and put an end to the hearings on March 2. Over our break week, we could draft the amendments. We could begin clause-by-clause on March 12 and complete it by March 26.
I think that may be an interesting idea. Two weeks was perhaps a bit long for the drafting of amendments. We could begin clause-by-clause consideration a week earlier than suggested. During the weeks of March 12 and March 19, we could move to clause-by-clause. That would give us two weeks to do so.
