Thanks, Mr. Chair.
The steering committee spent a lot of time on this. I would rather stick with that. Against the rules--the motion of the committee--I understand the parliamentary secretary was at the steering committee meeting as well.
I am really surprised at the concern I'm hearing now, because there was the opportunity to have meetings early on, where we could have used time to good advantage. Members walked out, so the government caused this committee to lose a lot of time. Let's be direct here.
Mr. Chair, I'm just saying I think the schedule is a reasonably good one. I do think you need to be in the chair when we're dealing with that committee report. And let's go with what the steering committee spent a lot of time putting together. That's why you're a steering committee.
