Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Certainly, I want to echo the comments of my colleagues. This Westminster system that we have is imperfect. Democracy is messy. However, it appears that around the world this is one of the best systems we actually have. I think we need to respect those traditions. Not to be too coy, but if Mr. Davies would like to join our party, then he could have more witnesses. That's just the way it works—and he could have more time.
Again, I don't mean to be nasty, but we need to get on with the business, Mr. Chair, and trying to rig the rules and gerrymander certain things so that we can get more time is just utterly ridiculous in my opinion, sir. Therefore, I think we need to stick to the traditions we have, get on with Dr. Hanley's study, and get this committee moving because we're mired up to our necks in ridiculousness.
