Ms. Sims, I do understand what you're saying. However the question that's before us is a request for an extension of 30 sitting days. So really all of what you're saying is interesting and may or may not be true. It's an interesting debate. I don't really think it has much to do with the issue of extending the sittings for this private member's bill in this committee for 30 days.
I'd rather you zero in on that, as opposed to giving us your position on the comparison between a private member's bill and a public bill in the House. You may or may not be right. That's not an issue. The issue is whether this committee should vote to extend the time for debate or other presentations in this committee by 30 sitting days.
