Before I invite the Minister to speak, I note that it is now 1.04 p.m. We only have the use of this facility until 1.15 p.m. I wish to be able to address the rescheduling of the resumption of Committee Stage and, as a result, we may not be able to proceed to take each of these amendments. Perhaps we could conclude on our contributions. I wanted to go into private session just to discuss the rescheduling issue. We must be out of here by 1.15 p.m. I do not want a repetition of what happened on the previous occasion when another committee was severely affected in the context of commencing its proceedings on time.
