Mr. Speaker, the member raised some interesting points. The issue of haste has been a question in this place for some time.
The member raised another question with regard to the motivation behind certain of the changes being proposed. Part of the difficulty is there was no speech given by the government to explain the purpose or the intent of the motions that were provided. As the member will know, these amendments were not even put in until 6 o'clock last night and were not available to members until after midnight, which did not give us an opportunity to do a proper review.
I think the member is quite right. We should encourage the mover of the motions to at least make a statement of intent of the motions being presented to this place.
