In all fairness, if we take this seriously enough we could say we are sitting here. This is a matter that overrides the need for me to go home and attend maple fest in my riding, in my case, and that sort of thing. Alternatively, it supercedes my need to go home and get a good night's sleep every single night during this period. I could stay here and give my speech to the House of Commons at one in the morning or two in the morning, if need be.
Those are reasonable things that could be done. You wouldn't want to do them for every bill, but it could be done here.
