Mr. Chair, in the spirit of cooperation, could the parliamentary secretary commit to this committee and let Canadians know that if he were to pick up the baton now and speak in Mr. Harvey's stead, who's on television, he will end this filibuster by a defined time?
Perhaps that would be useful, in the spirit of cooperation, if he could tell Canadians and committee members when the government intends to stop filibustering a private member's bill. Perhaps in the interest of making the order flow smoothly, we could get on to actually working on the amendments that we've got tabled here on a clause-by-clause basis, given that we're close to fourteen hours of filibuster now. Could the parliamentary secretary then commit to giving us a time by which this will end?
