Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Let me just say, as the Conservative who was at the subcommittee meeting, that at no time was it my position that four meetings followed by two meetings of clause-by-clause was adequate. I think, based upon the testimony that we heard today, it's become clearer that it is insufficient and that more time is required.
I know, having served on the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying and then on the justice committee with you, Madam Chair, during the study of Bill C-14, that there was a very thorough process. It not only resulted in more meetings, but longer panels.
This is a very condensed process. It's one of the most complex areas that Parliament could possibly legislate. I think Mr. Moore's motion to simply require an additional two meetings would provide an opportunity for this committee to do its due diligence without, in any significant way, running up against the clock that the government is concerned about.
Again, with respect to that clock, the government wouldn't be in this situation had it chosen not to prorogue Parliament. Thank you.
