Mr. Chair, I appreciate that the minister is making himself available to come back to the committee. I think that we should stick with what we decided together, to have a four-hour meeting: two hours with the minister and two hours with Ms. Keen.
After those two witnesses have appeared, we may find it necessary to hear from others, whether that be the minister or Ms. Keen again, representatives from Atomic Energy of Canada, or a representative from the Auditor General's office. So we should set aside a little time before the end of the second hour, or add half an hour to discuss additional witnesses.
If it is desirable for the minister to appear and it moves our work forward, I am ready to support the proposal. If we feel it necessary for Ms. Keen to come back to clarify any of her statements, we will get her back. But I feel that we should make that decision after the four hours of hearings, as we agreed at the start of the debate. Not today.
