With due respect to my colleague, Mr. Waugh, whom I hold in high regard, Madam Chair, I would simply like to express my disappointment.
Before the parliamentary recess, we discussed the number of hours to be allocated for hearing witnesses. There was some disagreement. Some people wanted to move more quickly, while others wanted to take more time. We discussed this with the Conservatives and agreed to hold 20 hours of meetings with witnesses. That was the agreement, the compromise we reached.
Madam Chair, this is why I am disappointed. We often disagree with our Conservative colleagues, and sometimes agree with them, which is all the better. It is clear, however, that we we can usually rely on the Conservative' word when we reach an agreement with them. So it is disappointing to see what is happening now and to see that they are not following through on what they said.
On that note, Madam Chair, I move that the meeting be adjourned.
