Thank you again, Mr. Chair.
One of my main focuses is that one thing I have learned in my short time here, two years, is that everybody does really want what's best for Canadians. But I think not to have the entire input from, for instance, the oil sands or from Newfoundland or from Quebec or from British Columbia in the steering committee leaves a chance that we're going to miss some Canadians in some part of this country who could provide an input. Because that's what I do; I represent the people in northern Alberta, just as you represent the people in northern British Columbia and Ontario.
From my perspective, I think if we kept short, sharp focus on the agenda in this committee we would make sure we don't miss anything that is necessary to cover particular parts. I have learned a tremendous amount about different areas and territories of this country just from talking to everyone in this room and other MPs. I think if we don't do that in the steering committee, if we don't allow that input, we will be missing out on valuable information that could actually help us.
That is my point. It's such an important piece of legislation.
