Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to try very hard to speak slowly, because apparently there is a problem with my device.
I may be out of order, Mr. Chair, but I raised my hand when you were referring to the subcommittee. You advised us last week that there was really no room for a subcommittee and that if we wanted to do a formal subcommittee, we would have to cut the time of the regular committee. I'd like an update on that.
Is there a way to meet outside, for instance, by common agreement among the parties represented on the committee, even if it is informal? This would allow us to save time, plan our motions and talk about them.
As you said, we don't have a lot of time to debate in committee, and we would save a lot of time if we could use a subcommittee, because that's what it's all about. I would just like you to tell me if, legally speaking, we could meet as a subcommittee informally to bring more fluidity to the debate on our motions.
