Mrs. Lalonde, please, if you want to put something in, then turn on your mic, and we'll do that.
Again, I don't want to aim the discussion in a particular direction, but I would suggest that if we remove the “one week”, then that will leave things wide open indefinitely.
There again, the committee is the master of its own course of action and certainly in the interest of doing a thorough job, it will be up to the committee to really monitor how things progress. If, for instance, the other things that have already been approved on our docket seem to be important to the committee, and we know we have a limited horizon in terms of the amount of work that we can potentially get done, it will take a smackerel of self-discipline here collectively to make sure that the important things get done. I will just leave that with you.
Let's deal with the amendment first. Then, if Mr. Chong wants an amendment, we'll consider that after. Is that all right?
Let's deal with this amendment first. The amendment is basically to remove subsection (iii) under section (e).
(Amendment negatived: nays 7; yeas 4)
We don't need the suspense. I think the amendment has been defeated.
Mr. Chong, go ahead.
