Mr. Speaker, there is nothing antidemocratic about what the committee is doing. On the contrary, I congratulate it on its accomplishments so far.
Forty-five witnesses will be heard. Meanwhile, the members of the opposition across the way, who claim to be in favour of democracy, were spending their time trying to table press clippings in the House of Commons, instead of engaging in any real debate on this bill.
The government has acted in a reasonable manner. It is doing the right thing. The members across the way know that very well.
