Out of respect for the witnesses with us today, I will be brief.
Bill C-74, which is 547 pages long, has not even been voted on yet, but the government is already predicting that it will be passed. In other words, it is anticipating the result of a vote in the House of Commons. I would like the record to reflect my disagreement with this practice.
I would also like the record to reflect my disagreement with points 11 and 12 of the motion, which limit the time allocated for the clause-by-clause consideration of the bill as a whole. They are seeking to limit the attention parliamentarians may devote to this 547-page bill. We want to make sure that, at the end of the process, we have done our due diligence.
I would simply like the record to reflect my disagreement with such an undemocratic process.
