I realize that the government is trying to show good faith, but we should consider that on Tuesdays, even after 5:30 p.m., it is rather busy in Parliament, since there could be a vote.
So what does this mean? It means that all the members will probably have to leave around 5:15 p.m. because the bells will ring, and the members will have to proceed to the House.
Extending committee meetings until 6 p.m. could pose a problem, in my opinion. In such situations, the minister will only have time to make a statement, and the opposition will not have time to ask proper questions.
I believe that we are setting a dangerous precedent by wanting to continue working after 5:30 p.m., especially considering the Tuesday parliamentary agenda.
