I'll go with the consensus. However, we have a number of witnesses on this list: the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Canadian Medical Association, the College of Family Physicians of Canada, the Centre for Aboriginal Health Research, the Ontario Minister of Health Promotion, the Indian Health Service National Diabetes Program, the provinces, and the president of the Obesity Canada. There are 72 expert organizations.
If the committee decides not to see these people, I just want to make it clear, for the record, that it's not this side of the table denying these people access. We've gone this far; it seems like a travesty to cut off some of the best-known people in the field. Yes, we've found out that it's going to take more than eight meetings. So what? For the greater good of the country and the provinces, why not schedule the extra meetings? Maybe the researchers can tell us how many extra meetings we'd need.
