Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to my colleagues, who acknowledged that paragraph (f) may be problematic and that we may be able to dispense with it.
However, on the subamendment, we at least must acknowledge that we're adding not a couple of hours but one hour to the opportunity to make amendments. The committee orders suggest that the end of the day is 4 p.m., so I'm not really sure that would count as much of an extension. When we're discussing amendments, it takes sometimes weeks or longer to identify challenges with pieces of legislation, so I don't think adding an extra hour would solve any of those challenges.
Also, I remain relatively unpersuaded by some of the arguments with respect to the ministers' schedules. You know what? If the ministers and the government would like to see this bill pass, I think the ministers would make themselves available at any time, not just when we seem to understand they are available this week.
I respectfully would not support the subamendment and would revert to the amendment of Mr. Poilievre. Thank you.
