On that point I'm a bit torn.
Mr. Chair, here is what I would like to know.
Can we agree on the following, if we end up with time allocation votes, regardless of how many? I do not want our meeting to be just 30 minutes long. We are in the Centre Block and we are so close to where the votes are held that we can easily keep working here and extend our meeting.
This is the last day we have to hear from witnesses. So let us try to make the most of it. Otherwise, the prudent thing to do would be to reserve next Tuesday’s meeting to meet with the other witnesses we have not heard from.
The committee really wanted to hear from representatives from the Internet Association and from Facebook. I congratulate the clerk for insisting that they were witnesses we wanted to hear from. I appreciate his initiative very much and am very happy with it. But I would not like the testimony from the representatives of those two groups to be short-circuited by the bells, because we have 30 minutes to get into the Chamber area and we would be losing those 30 minutes completely.
My answer as to whether we move or not depends somewhat on your answer.
