It's still my turn, Mr. MacKinnon.
Time and time again, bills have been referred to the committee even before second reading has run its full course. So I would like to convey to the government the importance of the House's role in legislative debate. I would also like to say to the committee that we have more than a month to study the bill.
Here is what I'm proposing. The subcommittee should examine and figure out the exact schedule now that the committee has seen what the bill entails, how long it is, and how complex it is. It's a matter of being transparent. It's also a matter of having respect for the House of Commons and Parliament.
