I've received no assurances from any of my colleagues on the other side to the question that I had that, if this bill or when this bill passes through this committee and gets reported back to the House, we will have good opportunity for good and fulsome debate on this bill at second reading, hopefully without the notion of time allocation being brought in so that we can thoroughly investigate the addition of another piece of legislation into this legislation, notwithstanding the fact that there may have been people talking about it.
No formal witnesses were called specifically to testify at this committee prior to the second reading on this amendment, which is a new piece of legislation. I'm very concerned about the precedent of parliamentary procedure being set. With this, I know that it's in order or else we wouldn't be discussing it, but I haven't received the assurances from my previous intervention on this.
