Mr. Chair, I want to add something.
This is serious; there is a reason for all this. Mr. Lessard did indeed request the information during the briefing. I was there. I can say in all honesty that the Bloc Québécois made the request directly to the House of Commons and once again after that. To think that the committee should get down on its knees and beg for documentation is just wrong.
It is a sad state of affairs when the document comes in at 9 o'clock this morning, and we are in the midst of arguing before going to a vote. In case some of you did not know, we have messengers who deliver documents to us. The documents could have been photocopied and hand delivered to us directly.
This is not how we should work. I will not waste any more time. We should take the 10 minutes and then go back to studying the bill, because workers are waiting for it.
