I've actually realized that the minister will be here for half an hour and we'll be able to ask the representatives questions for half an hour.
I think that's unfair and unacceptable. However, in a dramatic development, it's five minutes before noon on November 24, 2022, and I'm prepared to accept this proposal and to invite my Conservative Party colleagues to accept this sub-amendment, provided Ms. Ashton doesn't add an obligation to conduct clause-by-clause consideration with a time limit.
That's on the table, Mr. Chair. I'm ready. I want to move this forward, but I'll never yield on clause-by-clause consideration. I'm prepared to sacrifice my speaking time with the ministers and their representatives, but I won't sacrifice anything else. I'm going to lie down on the tracks and face the consequences. I'm going to do everything I can to defend the French language and ensure that our rights as parliamentarians aren't violated.
