I don't object to doing it on Tuesday, but I nevertheless want to, once again, express my dismay at the government's haste in dealing with this bill. We know the Senate has already studied it, and debate at second reading only began today.
So I sincerely hope this isn't the beginning of a government habit to deal with bills before any meaningful debate has taken place at second reading. Debate at second reading serves a purpose: to inform committee study. Therefore, I would like the record to reflect my unease with the government's chosen approach. There is no reason to rush.
I'd also like to ask the government members how long the study is going to last. How many meetings are planned? Will it be possible to hear from other witnesses as part of our study of Bill C-15?
