The chair will do both, Mrs. DeBellefeuille.
First, he will indeed convey the viewpoint you have just so clearly described and, in doing so, defend the committee's interests.
Second, the chair will provide clarification. A few minutes ago, I received more detailed information regarding the Canadian Bar Association's brief. This brief was reportedly submitted in its entirety on May 29. The number of pages it contained exceeded the number that had been communicated two weeks earlier. The final version, containing the correct number of pages, arrived on June 1. It is therefore understandable that, even with considerable resources, it's difficult to meet the committee's expectations and needs. This is in no way a criticism or reproach directed at anyone. It's a learning experience that is also important to understand in the context of the relationship between the committee and the House of Commons.
That being said, I will be more than happy to do as you have requested, Mrs. DeBellefeuille, and we will see how things proceed.
I now turn back to you, Mr. Housefather. You may finish your remarks. You were originally allotted five minutes.
