We totally disagree with the proposed amendment. If more time is needed to draft the reports, maybe the parliamentary secretary could suggest that dissenting reports be shorter in length.That would free up the time needed to draft minority reports.
All kidding aside, when we draft a dissenting report, we already know what the subject matter will be. We have given the matter considerable thought. The committee needs to remain flexible and to examine situations on a case by case basis. This approach has served us very well.
Mr. Chairman, you have shown due diligence in negotiating the length of documents and the time required. Therefore, things are fine as they are.
