We did not propose to do the bill under closure, with three readings in one day. We had one reading and then we sent it to committee. We are listening to a maximum of 45 witnesses. That is a very, very large number, as witnesses go. We will have several days of listening to witnesses. The government is behaving in a very reasonable way. Then of course we will have report stage and, finally, third reading.
In the House of Commons on February 17th, 2000. See this statement in context.
