Just in response to that, I realize that there is an imbalance in the witnesses that we are yet to hear, but I'm also very concerned about the time. I think if we begin to add witnesses at this point, then this will just go longer and longer.
So my proposal is to make sure that the witnesses we have scheduled now are heard. The technical briefing, and everybody has said this, is very important. If we just keep adding witnesses, we're going to be putting that off.
I would like the committee to focus on the business. I really think we've heard the arguments. We have heard the arguments from business and labour. So you can add more labour. I mean, I'd love more labour to come, but I don't think you're going to hear anything new in terms of the arguments that are presented.
I think what the committee needs to focus on is to get into this bill and go through it, to hear the technical witnesses, and to then go through it clause by clause to see where we're at and to see whether there are any changes or clarifications because of things that have arisen.
I'm arguing that we not change this motion, that we stick to a timetable. This moves it up by one week and makes the compromise that we add some additional hours to make sure that we can do our business. I think it's reasonable, and it will allow us to focus on the technical discussion, which we need to have, frankly, and then to do the clause-by-clause.
