Perhaps, Mr. Chair, I'll point out the obvious. We are not the ones who are delaying this right now. We were prepared to go to clause-by-clause today. The witnesses are here. They're waiting to do it. Then we wouldn't be debating this whole issue right now. We'd have the bill ready to go back to the House. We are not the ones who are delaying this.
And whether we can come to some agreement on this motion, and delay with another request for witnesses to appear, whether this all transpires before the House rises or not and whether we could come to some agreement as a special order that if the House had risen we could still have the bill reported back.... All of that's hypothetical, and obviously possible, but I don't want to comment further.
It's not the government side of this committee that is involved in this delay.
