I have no objection to hearing the witnesses, quite the opposite, and I am even being extremely generous by giving one extra hour to the committee. However, Mr. Chairman, you did say, during the last meeting, that it would be very complicated to give me the 10 minutes that I had asked for. We're prepared to give more time.
I would simply like to say the report is in fact very important. There may be a discussion about it, because you saw today that the motion I tried to have adopted was not accepted by the government representatives. That is part of the work that we must do here in committee. So we have to make a choice, and I think that it would be appropriate to warn the witnesses that there may be some discussions that could take more time than expected. Dilatory tactics have already been used and, if my memory serves me correctly, only by the government members. So that could mean that our witnesses would not be able to give their testimony.
