I listen to our debates and I understand all the participants' concerns. I don't know whether I should propose it now or later, but could we not instead agree to reject the whole thing?
Between March 31 and June 23, we could meet on May 15 or May 30, for example. We actually considered the possibility earlier of meeting more often, as our colleague Mr. Virani suggests, but we realized that it was not possible, there being no clerks, interpreters and rooms available.
You will recall that at the beginning of the fall, we had asked to meet two days a week. At that time, the answer was that it was not possible and we had to stick to one day a week.
We also cannot imagine that a miracle is going to happen and we will be meeting two or three days a week. We will have to cope with one day a week. However, a deadline of March 31 is definitely a bit short. I think Senator Harder will agree with me that that deadline does not leave us a lot of time for discussion.
Without waiting until June 23, is there a way to agree on May 15 or 30? I do want us to vote, but if we could reach an informal agreement on a date, it might facilitate things.
