I apologize to our colleague. I am perhaps the person who misled him about the committee.
First of all, the motion under consideration ought not to be misconstrued. The idea was for a work plan to be adopted no later than November 2. It is now Thursday. My understanding is that we would decide to do that today. For me, that is not a problem.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to state our position to you. When the committee sits again, the people will not be those who are here today. They will be those who have presented arguments about the bill and who want the work to be done more efficiently. That is why I think that we could add meetings to the time already scheduled for the committee. If the other parties are willing to do the same, that would free up quite a bit of time and accelerate the work. In addition, I do not think that it is necessary to wait until November 21 to do so. We could begin this week or next week.
