Thank you very much, Chair.
I just want to clarify and put it on the record that when I was in that chair I did not speak. The first opportunity I had to speak was when you came back. I did speak while we were in camera, but I realize that remains in camera. I can really say that I'm making this concurrence motion discussion for the first time here.
For me, I'm not even talking about the concurrence motion. What I'm really talking about is the impact the extension will have on the workings of the committee. You have to look at that from different angles. I covered some of the content that will be impacted earlier and now I'm looking at the process and how that will actually impact the workings of this committee. When I take a look at all of those things, then I realize that it is not right.
I would actually be negligent in my duties as a parliamentarian to even look at voting in favour of this, because I'd be supporting more, I would say, quiet time for the committee. Everybody who knows me knows that I'm not in favour of too much quiet time. We're sent here by our constituents to do our work, and I certainly want to do that.
With that, Mr. Chair, I'm going to put myself back on the list so that I can come back and make other new points. At this moment hunger calls, and I'm going to grab a sandwich.
