Thank you very much. I'll be brief.
I agree with the amendment. I completely understand my colleague Mr. Perkins when he says that the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology already has a lot to do, including the study of a bill. That study should go on until December.
That said, the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates also has a great deal to do. We have a number of studies on the table. Some of them have gone on for too long, and we should be presenting those reports as soon as possible.
As for the amendment, I agree because we would be letting the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology handle its business. In terms of time constraints, it's the same thing for us. Even if we did decide to do the study proposed in the main motion, it would be quite a while before we could start it.
Just before Christmas, in November and December, we discussed the subject of the main motion over four or five meetings. We're repeating ourselves. It's Groundhog Day, and unfortunately the groundhog isn't predicting an early spring.
So I'd like us to come to an agreement quickly and not take five meetings to do it. That would be too long.
Thank you.
