Number one is that I got an immediate laugh for taking the floor and that warms my heart.
What I wanted to mention is, again, in a proper filibuster, you have three and a half minutes and then you need to get back to the motion. I saw some improvement from Mr. Lauzon, where he attempted to bring it back in.
I congratulate you, sir, for asking for more time and resources so that we can get this issue resolved tonight.
Just as a reminder, this is about safety. We've heard multiple suggestions tonight from Liberals that they want to see more witnesses—truckers who have diabetes, I think, or mental health issues. We've all talked about the need to bring in people who have a loved one who has perhaps died or who have had their own incident as a victim. I think we should zone in. This is what we're proposing.
Conservatives believe it can be two meetings that are extended to allow for us to have regular panels, as the clerk has said, where people can be heard. It can be two and a half meetings, with the second half of that last part where we give drafting instructions for all the great recommendations by giving a clear direction of what the committee wants to the analyst, and that would clearly end the study—or it could be three meetings of the regular two hours.
Conservatives are supportive of this Bloc initiative. We're supportive of having victims come in to share their stories, because they matter. I also think that we've heard tonight that there are other voices that need to be heard. We stand prepared, Mr. Chair, either for consensus—because I've made a number of offers here, pick up one of them and we can get this done right away—or to stop talking. Stop talking and we can vote.
I'm ready for either a consensus of this committee or a recorded division. I'm ready to wait. I'm ready to vote. I'm ready to get started on that next part of this excellent study.
