Thank you, Mr. Chair. I agree with Réal Ménard. If the committee travels, then we must all travel together, just as we must be together to hear from witnesses on this bill. Let me reiterate the offer made by my colleague Ujjal Dosanjh when the minister was here earlier. We intend to cooperate in order to do a quick study, both in the House and in committee, of bills C-14 and C-15. We see no reason to delay the study of these bills. We have even offered to study these bills fairly quickly.
I think this is the wrong decision. We cannot examine bills if we are travelling. We believe it will be important to travel when we turn our attention to organized crime, as Réal suggested. We're open to the idea of visiting some cities, including the ones suggested by Brian Storseth, but we don't think we'll be able to travel during a break week. People plan their schedules for these weeks well in advance. The committee will have to travel when Parliament is in session. We'll simply have to try and cover as much ground as possible over five days. We could hold meetings at the same time. That is what we are suggesting. We will work in an appropriate fashion to complete the study of the bills as quickly as possible.
