Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I want to state for the record—and I have a proposal that might be acceptable to Mr. Harris and the NDP and the Liberals.... But Mr. Chair, I would like to point out that we have had not just one committee meeting today, because the first one we had ended at 10:45, nor two committee meetings today, but as of now, we have had almost three committee meetings, or the total time of three committee meetings.
Mr. Harris said earlier that we could have it done within one or two meetings. Well, we've already had two and a half meetings, in essence, in which they have filibustered a motion that was just trying to exercise some opportunity to have this dealt with today, because Canadians and victims have asked for it.
I would propose this motion, Mr. Chair. It's a friendly amendment to the motion: that we double the time—and the Conservative government would be prepared to double the time—to 10 minutes. I personally will forego any other discussion during the time, but if Mr. Harris were prepared to accept this, the motion would not read five minutes, Mr. Chair, but would read 10 minutes.
If that were to be accepted, the government would be in favour of it.
