I wholeheartedly endorse the comments from Mr. Baber because that's exactly what's transpiring before us.
With respect to Monsieur Fortin's comments about our limited schedule between now and our summer break, there's also a possibility, Chair, we could look at additional sitting days throughout the week. We could prioritize this. We're willing to work with the government to ensure that we have a number of witnesses as set out in the amended motion so that we can hear from all the subject matter experts throughout this country and prioritize exactly what has been plaguing Canadians and what has been plaguing law enforcement.
With respect to Mr. Housefather's comments about Canadians wanting to deal with Bill C-9, yes and no. Canadians I have heard from, religious leaders I have heard from, religious leaders Mr. Baber and Mr. Lawton have heard from, and from Mr. Gill's perspective, right across this country never saw fit that this Liberal government that introduced Bill C-9 would then make a deal with the Bloc Québécois to put into play the removal of a religious defence that has been available to religious leaders for over four decades.
We've heard loud and clear with respect to hands off our freedom of expression and freedom of religion, and this is the path this Liberal government has chosen to take to not prioritize what the Prime Minister wants them to prioritize. Perhaps they need to be talking to the Prime Minister himself or the PMO, because this is exactly the messaging he delivered inside and outside the House. We're willing to work collaboratively to get the job done for Canadians.
