Mr. Chair, could we get clarification either from you or from those who are advising you as to what the timeline is for a Senate-sponsored bill compared to a House of Commons private member's bill, and if there's any difference in the timelines for those bills as they appear before a House standing committee? Also, what are the minimum requirements for due diligence that a committee is obligated to undertake insofar as a private member's bill is concerned, insofar as the Standing Orders dictate? Can we get some advice on what a typical timeline would be for dealing with a private member's bill before the committee?
