Thank you, Madam Chair.
I find it difficult that we would be proposing a deadline for amendments before we've heard from all of the witnesses. In this place, we do a lot of important work, but I think there are few opportunities to do something that affects Canadians as directly as this does—Canadians of all ages. This is about how they consume content from the Internet. Many constituents have contacted us, whether for or against this bill. I think it's important that we hear from all of the witnesses.
I also believe—I don't really want to push this—that the 20 hours was a starting point. It was something that we agreed on, that we'd probably need 20 hours to study this. I know I have received information from other Canadians and organizations that would like to witness as well. I think it would not be appropriate for us to set a deadline for amendments before we hear from all of the witnesses.
I also think it would be definitely not appropriate for us to have some type of unanimous consent, as Mr. Julian recommended, to propose more witnesses. I think flexibility is flexibility. Flexibility does not require unanimous consent.
I think it's important that we hear from all of the witnesses, and that we definitely provide some more time after we hear from the witnesses to provide those amendments.
