Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate that my colleagues have substantive thoughts on the motion and on the issue that we're debating, which is great. It means it's going to be a good study.
I would like to have the hours of witness testimony expressed as “hours of witness testimony” as to opposed to meetings. We eat up a lot of time at meetings dealing with other matters. It often cuts into the testimony of witnesses. I had proposed 12 hours of witness testimony, which is six meetings. I would be willing to accept four meetings' worth, or eight hours, of testimony. Perhaps that's a compromise that we can reach. My concern is that we have four minutes left in this meeting, and I don't believe we're going to get to a vote on the amendment or the main motion.
With that, Mr. Chair—I believe it's in order—I will move that we postpone this debate until February 7 at 4:30 p.m.
