I wanted to make a suggestion. It's about Minister Blackburn's cross-Canada tour.
The press release says that the Minister will be organizing roundtables. However, Mr. Blackburn has decided to do that in only five provinces, or half of Canada. He is only doing part of the work. Perhaps we could do the other part? I know he will be convening roundtables in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. So, people in Alberta, Prince Edward Island and Manitoba will not have an opportunity to be heard. Five provinces are being left out, although I do not know exactly why. Maybe he intends to invite people from the Maritimes to join him in Nova Scotia.
Once he has completed his tour, I would suggest that the Committee take a look at the report I hope Minister Blackburn will be tabling. If we invite him and other stakeholders to appear, we can do the necessary follow-up by conducting our own study. I think that would be the ideal way to proceed.
