Mr. Chair, these additional six hours are extremely important. I'd like to answer Ms. Pauzé's question. We don't have to do this in September, according to normal parliamentary committee schedules. We can do it next week. We can hold all our meetings next week. I say that because we know it's urgent and there's a great deal of concern in the communities involved.
Consequently, this wouldn't affect the committee's other work. All we have to do is convene the committee next week and hold the six meetings in the same week. I think we'd be able to get through it so that everyone has the opportunity to be heard.
We're not tied to the committee's regular meeting schedule. We can do this now; it would allow everyone to be heard. I don't see why we should limit ourselves to four meetings when so many stakeholders are asking to be heard and there are so many people who have things to say about Mr. Guilbeault's radical decree.
