Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the officials for showing up for today's committee meeting.

Unfortunately, the minister has gone. He did talk quite a bit about the importance of getting this bill through.

I guess my first question is this, and I know I've heard the minister try to answer it in the House before unsuccessfully. Would it not be a lot faster, considering the urgency, especially of the sick leave portion of this bill, to split this bill into two separate parts? Would that not definitely get it through the House and through this whole review process a lot faster?
