Yes, we can discuss it in the steering committee also. That's it? Fine.

We actually didn't crystallize the steering committee, but we can do it.

That's great if your party just has one member. All right, that's fine, but we'll sort it out.
Perhaps I could just make a comment. I found in one of the other bills that the justice committee was doing we were very accommodating to witness requests. We're inviting witnesses who have comments on what's in the bill, because the House has already adopted the bill in principle, and it's not always useful to have a witness come solely for the purpose of saying yes, we support the bill. You can have a bit of that, but a witness who simply supports the bill can write to us and say, we support the bill.
So the focus should be on the technical and other components of the bill, if I could suggest that.
