Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I was saying that I disagree with Mr. Wallace's motion for the following reason: this motion requesting a 30-day extension to complete the study of the bill is unnecessary—at least, at this point, because the deadline for referring the bill back to the House is December 2—next Tuesday. Between now and then, we have two more Committee meetings. I know that our agendas are full, but there is no urgency at this time.
Mr. Wallace was saying, in support of his own motion, that he would like to review the amendments proposed by the Liberal Party. However, at those two meetings we will have an opportunity to look at those amendments carefully, and others as well, if there are any. We'll see. So, we have to look at them carefully and then move to clause-by-clause consideration. In fact, I would like to suggest that we do that next Tuesday, on December 1, which is the deadline.
It would be better to wait until we have reached the deadline to ask for an extension or additional time, rather than doing that now. It seems to me that would be a more reasonable course of action.
