I apologize, Mr. Thériault.
It was just a microphone issue.
I will speak in English now.
While I appreciate the intervention by Mr. Moore, I also appreciate, Madam Chair, your ability to stickhandle today's meeting and provide accommodation to the witnesses where required and to use your discretion to ensure that we had enough time to get through this important testimony. I also believe it's important to stand by decisions the committee has already made, and I'm quite reticent to see decisions being revisited, meeting after meeting, that have already been made. There was already a decision made by the steering committee on procedure. That is why it is constituted, so we can have all the parties come to an agreement as to how we will roll out a study on a given bill.
We do have a court-imposed timeline on this bill. That's an important timeline. We've had agreement, including with Conservative input, on how this bill would be structured, how many days would be devoted to the study and how many days would be devoted to clause-by-clause. Those are important decisions that have already been made, and my view is that we should stick by those determinations. If we need to take a vote on Mr. Moore's impromptu motion today, then perhaps we should take a vote on it.
Thank you.
