On this point of order, this committee is a standing committee of this House of Commons. We can meet at our regularly scheduled meeting time until we finish any number of studies or bills. We had a study on wrongful conviction. We had a study on this bill. We had a study on the federal government's obligation to victims of crime. We've passed different pieces of legislation.
My point, Madam Chair, is that there is no obligation on this committee and there is no directive from the House that we would finish Bill C-40 today, so there's no reason to schedule a meeting for eight hours straight. Therefore, if someone has an issue with the meeting being eight hours, they should take it up with you, because this committee is scheduled to meet again in the new year, when we will pick up on Bill C-40, I'm sure.
