Mr. Chair, it just seems to me that, again, in an effort to try to have some continuity on this question.... I know that when this issue comes up about dissenting opinions, customarily the committee seeks agreement among the committee members as to what time and when such dissenting opinions would have to be submitted. That tends to vary from one committee to another. Here we are attempting to have some clarity on the issue, but also some continuity so that committee members can't overtly obstruct the proceedings of the committee to try to play games with issues around dissenting opinions. I know that members customarily will also provide whatever accommodations are necessary, but we all know that when circumstances arise in which politics begin to trump the important work of the committee, these issues come into play. This would be a way to make sure that the 72-hour period became the norm, and that parties that wished to, and continued to have the right to, as has been said under the Standing Orders, would have their absolute right to do that.
The suggestion here is an attempt to provide some clarity around the question of the time, and I believe it's a wise move.
