I'm sorry. They look so much alike, Mr. Chair. And they're both pretty good guys, and not bad lawyers.
Having said that, at this point we're certainly reluctant to move today to next Tuesday. We've all agreed that we need to complete that report. There will always be something that seems to jump up to push aside the mental health issue and the prisons and addictions and all of a sudden we'll get to the point for the summer recess and the report won't be completed.
I think it's so important. It's something Canadians have been made aware of. Mr. Rathgeber so rightly pointed out that the committee put a lot of time and effort and taxpayers put a lot of money into doing that study. I think for the purposes of that study it needs to get completed sooner rather than later--rather than getting pushed off.
So if we're going to adjourn today's meeting and put it into Thursday's.... I can't see where it's going to hurt their cause. It's not a long bill. I think we've got in front of us a total of 25 clauses, all of which are fairly simple to deal with. Mr. Davies indicated that perhaps eight or ten amendments may be put forward by the NDP. I think we should be able to handle that in one day. But if we move ahead today on this I think they're going to lose some of their opportunity to bring their amendments forward, because we'll be past that.
So I understand their problem, but at the same time I think the schedule was set some time ago, quite understandably.
