Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
I do believe that this is an affront to democracy. It hurts Vancouver Islanders, who would expect that we'd be given a chance of two and a half minutes to question each of the panellists and bring some very important insight. As the only MP who's taken this crusade over the last month of meeting with the stakeholders, I think I have a lot to offer. I hope members will cede some of their time in consideration of the people of my riding and the benefit this would bring to the transport committee.
