Unlike Mr. Pacetti, I actually know who's out there. He doesn't seem to know, but it's colleagues in the Liberal Party who are just outside that door and who are refusing to respect the sanctity of Parliament.
With respect, Mr. Chairman, your primary obligation is to ensure that the rights of parliamentarians are respected. Our right, as parliamentarians, is to be here tonight doing this work on this bill. I accept your invitation to allow Jean-François Pagé, our clerk, to go outside and to make the necessary representations, and we'll see if we're able to do our jobs. But I would request, given the extreme nature of what's being done out there, that you make sure you also protect the debating time that was set aside by the House of Commons for the discussion of this bill.
