I would simply like to add that I suggested we extend our hearing until we have completed our work, to avoid this situation. The committee has to study each amendment, period. We can move quickly on to the discussion. I have the impression that we will finish early.
However, if the chair decides to stop proceedings before the indicated time, which means that all amendments will fall by the wayside, then we will have to come back on what we had agreed to with the government, that is, that we will complete our study by the agreed upon date. We would then have to schedule additional meetings to complete our work. I cannot believe that we will get into a situation where one party would engage in a filibuster until 11:59 p.m. to prevent the bill from being amended. That doesn't make sense. Everyone was acting in good faith. If we sit until 1:00 a.m., it will not be the end of the world. But I don't know if it will get to that.
