Madam Speaker, I am so glad to have received that comment, because, get this, amendments were due on Bill C‑22, but we did not have briefings. There were actually multiple briefings that were not provided to the committee. Witnesses came to committee, for my hon. colleague's edification, saying that they had submitted a brief days ago. We looked around, and I asked my staff, “Did we get that?” They said no. Then I asked the clerk if we had received it, and the answer was no.
The member talks about briefings, but we did not even have those briefings. It speaks to how quickly this was rushed. We need to slow it down, pass part 1 and leave part 2.
