I would like to come back to the work that the committee has to do. We have to understand that our work is not Question Period. In a non-partisan way, the committee is supposed to bring up new topics and to explore them in more depth. The same goes for bills that the government itself has submitted to the committee so that amendments can be made and different ways of presenting things can be tried.
The governing party has every opportunity to express its point of view outside committee work, because its point of view prevails from the outset. So we must, absolutely, have the opinion of all parties. That is why I will vote against Mr. Anderson's amendment; the way in which time was allocated previously suits me perfectly, it worked well. It allowed us to do things better, to have interesting committee reports and to improve bills.
