Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. You and the interpreters are doing an exceptionally good job today, I must admit.
On this specific point of order, the government has had an extension on this bill already. The government has had an extension on this bill for 90 days. It has only decided to deal with this in the last number of meetings.
My motions in bringing the Parliamentary Budget Officer forward to support it.... We would like to make the actual costs public before we vote on a bill like this.
My letter from the Parliamentary Budget Officer states that they received official notice on November 16, that they don't have the information from the CRA, and that they don't feel they can actually prepare the information.
If Mr. Hiebert wants to read his amendments into the record and allow Canadians to believe that these problems are addressed through his amendments, it's totally inappropriate. The information is not there. At least we're getting more enlightenment from my colleague Mr. Boulerice than from the government on this particular bill.
