Mr. Chair, I don't know how anyone can decide how many minutes each clause is taking. This is a very serious bill. It involves, I think, a lot of work and scrutiny. The way the bill was debated yesterday was no fault of ours. As you could see, there was confusion as to the way the amendment had been proposed or brought forward, so I don't see that we can ever limit time on clause-by-clause. I don't think I've ever heard of this before. Has this been done before? I'd be very surprised if we could do this.
