Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I won't take too long to discuss this, because we do have witnesses waiting.
Certainly, to our opposition members, it's imperative that we get the EFTA legislation through the House before the House rises. I've discussed this with most of the members, but not all of them. It's certainly a priority for our government.
There are a couple of salient points I want to make. The committee has already issued our report on EFTA. That's the first point. Two, second reading debates gave every member who wanted to speak an opportunity to speak. Three, there's no room for amendments because the treaty has been signed.
We do need your support on this and we would like to move forward on it.
