That's true.
What I'm seeing is 24 hours from when the clerk sends it. So if the clerk sends it at 6 or 7 p.m., I have 24 hours. It should be 24 hours before I deal with it the next day. If he sends it out at 9 o'clock and it needs translation, and it's 9 or 10 o'clock the next morning, it won't be dealt with until 24 hours after it has been sent to me. I may need about three, four, or eight hours before I actually get it, but once the clerk sends it, we have 24 hours. That would be a minimum.
In the past we had the Liberals sending motions the night before, we would start committee, and then they would reverse the agenda. There were a lot of shenanigans, and it created havoc in the committee. We had witnesses who appeared and were told sorry, you can't witness. They were sent walking while ignoring the expense of bringing them here. I don't want that happening. It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. It created a huge problem, not only for the committee but for the witnesses.
So 24 hours is reasonable. I suggested 48, but 24 is fine, provided that once it's distributed I have 24 hours to deal with it. I think that's reasonable. Giving any member less than 24 hours to deal with it, which includes maybe sleep time, I think is patently unfair.
