Look, we thought we were heading toward reporting this back. There was no plan during the time that we spent on committee business to include this. I'm disappointed that the parliamentary secretary, in the last 15 seconds of this meeting before its expected adjournment, chose to force through an extension to a bill that ought to be, by now, brought back to the House.
I wasn't on this committee during the previous time when this could have been studied, if it were a priority to study. On business, bills get priority, typically. I don't know what happened before I was here, but for this bill, it's time for it to go back to the House so that it can continue with the legislative process.
I'm disappointed that this is how this has come about. I guess we could just talk about this, if that's what we're going to do now, but it's time for this bill to be reported back. I'm very disappointed with the tactic of springing this by way of a sloppily delivered motion in the final seconds of witness testimony on a pre-budget consultation.
