Knowing that we have a motion on the floor from Mr. Vandal, I want to give a quick response to you, Mr. Van Loan.
We were in discussion with Mr. Bélanger with regard to how, even if he were not able to be present, he might entertain questions and give us a response in writing. That was about 10 days ago. Since then, I think that things have worsened. I don't believe that Mr. Bélanger will even be able to respond to questions in writing that are sent to him. I think that is becoming an impossibility.
We can add that into whatever we're discussing with regard to this bill, and if you still choose to possibly add an amendment to the one-hour discussion of the bill, we could talk about that. Right now, the motion from Mr. Vandal says that we set aside one hour next Thursday to discuss Bill C-210.
Is there any discussion on this motion?
Mr. Van Loan.
