Mr. Chair, I want to point out a couple of things related to the extension itself.
I went through the process of what led to this extension, to show that we have done everything possible within the rules and the guidelines of the process, to be able to have a private member's bill move forward. The reason this extension is here is simply to allow that individual the opportunity to have his say and to have his private member's bill move forward in the House of Commons. I wish we could have had unanimous support to vote on this.
Through you, Mr. Chair, I want to reinforce that the one thing I did was to give the history leading up to the request for this extension, and then I spoke specifically to the request for the extension. The third piece is why the opposition, I believe, is opposed to the extension itself.
Mr. Chair, I hope I've done my best to stick to speaking to the topic at hand. I would look further, that in the very near future, we have the ability to vote on the motion itself. I think, especially, after the nine and a half hour speech from Ms. Groguhé last week, it was pretty clear that she covered just about every single angle that could be covered on behalf of the opposition.
