Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have no objection to hearing from some new witnesses, but this raises a question in my own mind which is rather delicate. I would not like to leave the impression with certain witnesses we heard from that we do not value their opinions. I don't want to exclude anyone, but at the same time, I think we need to identify our requirements and the reason why we're requesting an extension. It is likely with a view to improving the bill and making it more effective and efficient. I think we could possibly select more expert witnesses who could talk about the impact of these amendments. We could also hear once again from those who put forward other suggestions. Some witnesses would not be in a position to provide any more details regarding what people affected by these events have experienced or what the outcome was.
I believe that we are now at a very technical stage in the process. Those are the kinds of witnesses we should be hearing from at our upcoming meetings. That way we could arrive at a final wording and make enlightened decisions with respect to the impacts and scope of the bill, as drafted at that point.
