Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I don't know if it's an appropriate point of order, but since I have the floor, it's more of a question.
In the fall or just before we rose for the winter break, we passed the bill at committee, which was then swiftly passed through Parliament. I guess my question is, what's the latest date on which we could pass the budget implementation bill—finish clause-by-clause study and still pass it? I'm looking at a calendar, and we're supposed to be here until June 23. If we could do what we did in the winter, why are we putting dates like the end of May or May 20 for having individuals or committees report back? That's a week and a bit from now.
Some of these changes to the Competition Act and to others are significant. What's the point of having a committee if we're going to hamstring us when we've shown before that we can study this and get something through right up to the end?
I'm looking at the calendar. I see June 23. It's more of a question for my colleagues, perhaps: What's the last day we can send this from the committee and see it get passed before we rise on June 23?
