I will add my opinion to the debate. I concur.
Indeed, I think we have all been very diligent in dealing with the bill and have been flexible. There were some unnecessary delays. For example, there was a vote on a Friday afternoon that was absolutely not essential and delayed our work in such a way that we had to use another meeting to receive witnesses.
In short, I think we have all put in our share of effort. I've already stated my opposition to adding meeting hours on Fridays, for reasons that are unique to everyone. Many of us have travel commitments and others have constituency obligations. I want to say to Ms. Dabrusin that I also have responsibilities to my constituents who require their MP to be in their riding. For me, Friday afternoons are also for that, when I am not on the Hill.
I think we are capable of being flexible and adding meetings, but, again, I do not agree with extending the hours on Friday afternoons.
