Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd appreciate order at the committee so that I can in fact speak to you, Mr. Chair, and speak through you.
So here we are on the anniversary of Vimy Ridge, Mr. Chair. This is important. It's not just a symbol. It's not just an emblem. Either people fought for something that was important and foundational or they didn't, Mr. Chair. Two minutes per speaker per clause, I think, is a very, very bad motion.
I'm going to round my comments out with that. I think I've made my three key points about that. My encouragement to this committee, my warning to the committee, is that if we're going to chip away at the very cornerstone of a building, the building will collapse. That civil society that we built sits precariously on freedom of speech. It's precarious today because it's being threatened, and that's a very important concept that we can't lose sight of. Mr. Chair, that is something my constituents appreciate and that ultimately is in the national interest.
