Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Rushfeldt, you mentioned in your opening comments something about the timing of this legislation and why it is necessary and implored us to move quickly. We all have noticed in the media over the last few weeks the continual speculation about a possible spring election triggered by a defeat of the government on the budget.
Is it your recommendation that all parties work together as quickly as possible to make sure that this legislation passes through both the House of Commons and the Senate before any vote on the budget?
