Thank you, Chair.
I believe that we are now about an hour into this meeting. I have had the floor but have been unable to speak. I don't think we need to delve further down into the list, because we know who's next: It's me. I would ask that I be given the floor so that I can speak to this piece of legislation that is so important, not only to the economy in our Atlantic provinces but to workers right across our country.
They have been waiting to see us deal with these two pieces of legislation. I believe it's been three weeks and 19 hours, and we have yet to complete even this subamendment to be able to move along. I would ask that I have the floor, please.
