Mr. Chair, I didn't want to interrupt my colleague, but he can probably pick up where he left off.
Before I continue, I want to know something. It seems obvious that the Liberals still have a great deal to say. Can you take a few minutes to give us some insight into how the committee will run in the future? Will we be meeting for longer than two hours, or will we be meeting two or three times a week in the hope that we can come to an agreement before Christmas, if that's possible?
For example, will today's meeting end at 5:30 p.m.? Will we reconvene on Thursday? Will we get into the habit of holding two-hour meetings more often, or will we hold seven to eight-hour marathon meetings, as we've done in the past? It's becoming difficult to make decisions and plan our schedules. In the long term, some people may even be deterred from coming to the committee given the lack of predictability. Can you rule on this matter and give us a few minutes to talk about it?
Will we have meetings that last two hours, with one meeting every other day, or will we free up our schedule for a meeting that could last all night or even 24 hours? If that's the decision, then so be it. However, at some point, we must find a solution and come up with something. Today, there will surely be no tangible results. The parliamentary system is such that our Liberal friends can talk all night long if they want to.
I'd like some clarification, Mr. Chair.
