Should we not make the agreement that we're going to be studying this bill before the minister speaks to the bill?
Normally I would think that you need this committee to say, yes, Bill C-11 is properly in front of us and therefore the minister will be speaking, and then later on we'll have hearings, etc. I would think that in terms of procedure--correct me if I am wrong, Mr. Chair--you would need to have this bill properly in front of this committee prior to proceeding with it. I thought that was the reason why we had a subcommittee meeting prior to this meeting. Should we not adopt that--
