I'll be brief. I have two quick points.
The first is that I think the committee would benefit from some more subcommittee meetings.
The second is that I will note that we had the Governor of the Bank of Canada here earlier this week, for the fourth or fifth time. The Minister of Finance has yet to appear on an invitation other than on her own legislation.
If we want the committee to work really well—and don't intend to take up time—then I would just note that we have to start thinking about how invitations to ministers from our committee work and whether those invitations are treated seriously or not.
The second point on the technical briefing—which was well done by officials—is that there was no simultaneous translation on those technical briefings. At least, I couldn't figure out how to get it. The technical briefing was offered immediately after we received the document, which was hundreds of pages long. I think we should also talk about that in one of these subcommittee meetings. I won't take up more of the time on this point.
I wanted to get that on the record when we're talking about a prestudy and trying to make it work more smoothly for the committee going forward.
