The average Canadian who is expected to be at his or her desk 48 weeks of the year, would not feel that the schedule of Parliament sittings was so extensive that the hour taken here or there for Royal Assent would prove to be an extensive, significant barrier to the passage of legislation and to the substantive deliberations of those chambers.
Le Canadien moyen qui doit travailler 48 semaines par an ne pense sans doute pas que le calendrier des séances du Parlement est si chargé que l'heure prise ici ou là pour octroyer la sanction royale constitue un obstacle important à l'adoption de textes législatifs et aux débats de fond de ces Chambres.
