I hope so, because we have heard representatives from two major companies. We didn't hear from any small business representatives. Maybe we should check that next time.

I'll do it, Mr. Perron. Next time, we'll add nine or 10 minutes by reducing the time for opening remarks. That may allow us to get to the second round. We'll adjust.

Yves Perron Bloc Berthier—Maskinongé, QC

You will understand that my concern is not that we cannot get to the second round, it is that it is incomplete and that Mr. MacGregor and I cannot speak. I think Mr. MacGregor, at least, will have no objection.

I'll follow up before the next meeting.
