Madam Chair, could I answer some of the concerns that were raised? I want to address the issue raised by Madame Mourani, because of course I understand her concern. I was thinking of putting a time limit on this motion, but I didn't, for that very purpose.
When I was on the finance committee and we did hearings prior to a budget process, we used to sit all day long. This committee isn't obliged to sit only the two hours from eleven to one and that's it. We could have extra meetings in the afternoons, especially when we're doing the report on trafficking and what have you. While there are a number of ministers, they could all be given one hour at the end of one particular day, or half a day at the end of another.
Between now and Christmas there is a lot of meeting time, and we're not meeting for full days. We're meeting only for our allotted time of eleven to one. We can certainly extend the meeting. At the finance committee we used to meet all day; I'm not suggesting that here, but we could choose to have two or three extra meetings, just to focus on a particular extra issue that really matters and is important, so that we can get it out of the way, rather than allowing it to fester and to drag.
That would allow us to be able to report to women out there that we are being vigilant. In addition to doing new research, we're being vigilant on existing directions.
