Thank you, Mr. Chair.
What I was getting to is simply this. I want to give some of the reasons that explain why I think this subamendment is very important. I want to speak to the subamendment by proving my case as to why I want to see an extension, why I want to see a period of time allowed so that we can properly debate this issue.
I am somehow buoyed by the results of a study that was done that said this is what Canadians would like to see. After all, we're all elected here. Canadians would like to see us on the right track, as far as this piece of legislation is concerned. The only way we can deliver to the people who voted for us is to extend the period of time in which we can evaluate the importance of these amendments one way or the other, Mr. Chair. It is very critical that we not allow procedure to get in the way of a good piece of legislation.
Here is a survey that was done, if you'll allow me. Now, if this is off—
I see you shaking your head. Perhaps you don't want me to go there, so maybe I won't.
