Branden Leslie Conservative Portage—Lisgar, MB
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I hope we can get this through relatively quickly. Thank you for coming forward with something more reasonable. I find it a bit strange that we couldn't do an hour with each minister—I assume it's for time reasons—but we could find two-hour blocks for two of them at a time. However, I will accept it. I appreciate the recognition that we should be beginning. The removal on (f) makes a lot of sense because we don't want to pigeonhole ourselves and be too prescriptive.
