Thank you, Chair.
In some ways it may seem unfortunate that the Liberal members are all new and there's an element of getting up to speed, but, listen, that's a fact of parliamentary life that happens all the time. I find these hearings useful. Balance would be useful. It would be nice if we could go back and actually see the witnesses. We have the transcripts, and we're going through those.
For the sake of one week, I wouldn't support this motion. For my good friend Carole, John Baird is not a good precedent to use with me in terms of ramming things through. So it's not just the witnesses here either. It's people in my riding. It's people in Ottawa. I have meetings with labour unions scheduled this week and next week back home, and business groups. I think for the sake of a week it would serve us all well to follow the schedule that was put before us, or close to that.
