Mr. Chair, I wasn't going to jump in, but I'm afraid as it goes on and on I feel compelled to.
I want to clarify for the record why the majority of the members of this committee had to step in to try to constrain this debate. If anybody at this table would like to have a fulsome debate on this bill, it would be me; it is my bill.
But I agree there is a great backlog of work before us, including SARA, which the Conservative members repeatedly say is so important to move forward with. That is part of the reason I voted to constrain the debate. I don't appreciate the insults or suggestions on my taking part in trying to constrain a fair debate on this bill. I think we've had a good toing and froing, and it became very necessary.
