Mr. Speaker, once again allow me to set the record straight for Canadians.
The discussion paper talks about a better use of members' time. On Fridays, we are only required to be here for half an hour. It would be realistic to move those hours to other days of the week. Most offices in Canada start their workday at 9 a.m. The House of Commons could as well.
The goal behind this option is to enable us to be in our ridings on Fridays so that we can meet with our constituents.
