Mr. Chair, you have mentioned several times that we are now in the 14th hour of debate on this motion. Mrs. Church is now suggesting this debate is taking too long and we're wasting the time of staff and parliamentarians. If we had adopted the motion 14 hours ago, the study itself would have only taken six hours.
It seems to me that, at this stage, out of respect for these proceedings and the committee, we should at least avoid such remarks and set the record straight.
