I just want to say that perhaps you and I are the only ones on the committee who have been in your position as either independents or as members of a one-person party. It is really difficult. I can sympathize with your position. You just can't be everywhere, as parties with dozens of members can be.
It's not possible to make it easy for you. I know how hard you work and how committed you are to everything. All I can tell you is that if this motion passes today, this committee will hear you and give you the opportunity to speak generously at any time. That's the only thing I can offer you.
It's just not possible for Parliament to accommodate one person, either you or me, in the same way it accommodates parties with dozens of people. That's all.
