Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I certainly agree with Ms. O'Connell, and I support the extended sittings when we get to it.
With regard to Mr. Motz's concern that this bill has been tabled since June 2022, we should remember that it came to this committee in March 2023. Therefore, we have had it for just about a year, so any delay on this bill is really on us, not on the government.
It's a very important bill. We need to get going on it. That's why the extended sittings are critically important. It's not a matter of just delaying another week because we're going to lose most of March.
I think that once we start this bill, clause-by-clause, we should do it as soon as we can in keeping with Ms. O'Connell's suggestion. We need to take every meeting that we can to proceed with it.
