Again, I feel very strongly that it was your government that created this short timeline, and you have to allow for the House of Commons to do its work prudently. If this was referred to us, we have an obligation as a committee to do the work. Two weeks isn't enough.
The will we've seen from the Bloc already is that it's important to the committee. I hope Madam Zarrillo feels the same. I don't buy this “we don't have a lot of time”: That's on your government for not giving us the time to examine it.
I feel that it's your obligation as a representative on this committee to ensure we are given the time and the resources to evaluate this at the level that this responsibility was given to us. My office found out about it this morning. It's not fair. In its unfairness, you should allow the committee, in every way possible, to do the work we've been charged with. I think that's the minimum you and your government can do, given the last-minute way we received this and the amount of time.
If you're not willing to, then, as I said, that's something.... We'll see how the rest of the committee feels. We'll see the outcome of it, but it's just.... This is on you. Your government can give us the time if they think it's appropriate.
