I think back to Bill C-288, when we had a steering committee, not the legislative committee, the Liberal Bill C-288, and the steering committee got very nasty and it came back to committee. We wasted a huge amount of time instead of moving on and hearing witnesses. There were a lot of arguments and lot of wasted time--as we've already seen, a lot of wasted time.
We had consensus. We were moving forward. We could have been all finished with this agenda, but no, we've spent the last 40 minutes or half-hour trying to go to a subcommittee. The logic of Mr. Godfrey is that four people is better than one person. Well, he said four is better than one. Then by that logic, thirteen will be better than one, or thirteen will be better than four.
That's what we saw happen with Bill C-288. The steering committee was totally ineffective and it stalled the whole process.
If we just support what is being proposed here by the NDP and move on, we will be much more efficient than by going the Liberal way.
Thank you.
