Mr. Chair, I want to state for the record that this kind of situation must never happen ever again. At our last meeting, we heard from 10 witnesses, which did not leave us enough time for even one round of questions. In addition, I would like the speaking order to be respected.
If we are to hear from witnesses, we need to take the time to ask them questions and to listen to what they have to say. I want this message to be conveyed clearly to the members sitting opposite. They were responsible for the fact that we had 10 people on the witness list and that's unacceptable. I hope that this won't happen again. Even if it means we have to hold one or two more meetings, we need to do our job properly, as far as Bill C-31is concerned.
