Absolutely, and that's the point I'm trying to get across. It's that I'm here to represent my constituents, and they want this bill to go through, which is why I fully support the 30-day extension.
It's absolutely imperative as a member of Parliament to have the opportunity to put through private members' bills. Fortunately, I actually had a private member's bill receive royal assent in this session. I wholeheartedly accepted recommendations from the committee that worked diligently on my bill to make it better, to improve upon it, as has my colleague, Mr. Devinder Shory.
I just want to say that he is open to these amendments. It's important that we listen to the will of this committee, the will of the member of Parliament who put forward this bill, and also the recommendation that we extend the sitting for 30 days, so that we can properly address these amendments. I think it is unjustified for any committee to go to the length that this committee has—the opposition—to delay for over a week a simple vote that would have taken less than two minutes, Mr. Chair. Therefore, I respectfully put forward my support of this motion that requests an extension of 30 sitting days.
