I agree with my colleagues.
We could start our study on car theft in a week and a half. By next Tuesday, we could submit the list of witnesses for Ms. Michaud's proposed study on car theft. We could set the deadline for submitting amendments for the following week.
I would like to suggest something for the following week. In the next seven weeks, there are just two sitting weeks. If we conduct our study on car theft next week, I suggest that the committee hold longer meetings to discuss the proposed amendments to Bill C‑26.
Honestly, I find it difficult to discuss amendments for two hours and then to continue our discussion three days later. The amendments are often connected. I think that it would be more useful to hold a meeting from 3.30 p.m. to midnight, for example. If we did that, we could finish studying the bill that week. I'm talking about the second sitting week in March.
I propose that we hold longer meetings, extend the deadline for submitting amendments and start our study on car theft the week after next.
