Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In the spirit of agreement and disagreement and collaborative efforts here, if I go back to my colleague, Mr. Bezan, who wanted us to be clear on the specificity of what we're studying in this committee, I think that Ms. Khalid's comments are actually even more important than the subamendment that she's moving.
Again, I've been here for a year. I've spoken to colleagues across the way about matters of importance on studies that we wish to do. Sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree on them, and Mr. Green is nodding his head. He and I have had quite a number of conversations on prioritizing and making sure that good work gets done. I would say that the same is true here.
I think that if we keep it structured rather than open-ended, and we're clear on the witnesses we need to have here, we can get through the study and have clarity on exactly what we're trying to address in this committee, and then move on to the other important matters of the day. With regard to studies we've put forward, for example, I've gone back and forth on single digital ID and the importance of having that discussion as well in this forum.
For the sake of keeping us on track for the studies and the important work we all wish to do, I am very supportive of Ms. Khalid in giving this legs. If Monsieur Villemure sees a sense of urgency here, as it appears that other colleagues do—although I'm not quite sure after 10 months where the urgency lies—we at least have to keep it tight. Let's keep it structured and keep it tight so we can continue with the other important work we have to do here.
And yes, Mr. Bezan, I do walk and chew gum as well, so I hear you on that.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
