Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The amendment is reasonable in that, just on its face, a seven-month extension ought not to result in a multiple-year extension.
That being said, I recognize the importance of the post-verification process. However, it would be incumbent upon Parliament to revisit that question at a later time if there was post-verification work that was not completed or if we hadn't exhausted that function. What we're merely suggesting is that if we want to go longer, we should come back to the House and seek direction from the legislative branch.
