Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I'll be brief, because I do believe this is an important piece of legislation that we need to get through as quickly as possible to the other place, because we don't know when the opposition is going to take the government down.
At the end of the day, the opposition has had this bill since November, so they've had the ability to do their due diligence, read this bill, and understand what the clauses are.
At this point in time, Mr. Chairman, I'm understanding that there are no amendments from the opposition being moved, so I'm not sure what their questions are. If they have amendments, that's generally the process through which questions arise. Absolutely, we should do our due diligence. But that being said, I've seen, often enough, due diligence being the excuse for weeks or months of delay from the other side when it comes to getting government legislation put forward.
So, absolutely, do your due diligence, but part of that due diligence is having read it and bringing in amendments. And you have the right to make an amendment now, but part of the due diligence process is bringing the amendments and scheduling them with us all, in both official languages, before the committee starts its proceeding on clause-by-clause.
