Mr. Chair, for the party that eschews regulations, we now have more regulations being proposed, and these regulations are unnecessary in this case. Again, it is up to the particular applicant to schedule the test for themselves. If they delay in doing so, then, of course, why would we want to punish the Federal Government by forcing the Federal Government to offer them a test in 14 days that they could have scheduled themselves had they been more efficient with their scheduling? Let's continue to rely on personal responsibility in this regard, and let's make sure that the onus remains on the applicant to schedule the testing. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
