I just wanted to point out for the record, Mr. Chair, that we have 208 clauses; we've dealt with five clauses in almost two hours. By my calculation, it's going to take about 40 meetings to get this through. The House has specifically directed this committee to deal with this matter within 100 days of sitting. I think Canadians have had enough, or thereabouts.
The point is, Mr. Chair, if we're going to sit for 40 meetings to get through these clauses.... And I understand they're very important, but we've debated and debated this. We debated it in previous Parliaments. We've dealt with this matter intensely.
I just want all members to recognize that this is going to take 20 meetings to continue, which means 10 consecutive weeks. We will not have this matter done until March or April. So I would just like to direct all members' attention to this.
