Mr. Chairman, I'm going to comment carefully here. If we're going to start accommodating requests, then I would want to make sure that's done in the context of where we've set the schedule of the items we wish to deal with. If the government were indeed responding to the House of Commons' unanimous vote that the terms of reference of a mandate would come first to this committee as the group mandated to review the mandate of CBC–Radio Canada, then in that context it would be absolutely primordial to invite the gentlemen, to accept his request, along with a slew of others. But since we have a few other things on our plate, is it the right thing to do without that government initiative?
It's the same thing for the request about piracy. My colleague Madame Keeper suggests that if we're going to do that, perhaps it should be in the larger context of the whole film industry, a whole look at it again, because periodically it's something that this committee has done and should continue doing. It's in that sense that I hesitate to accept, in the immediacy, the request to appear before us that you've just mentioned. I'm not refusing it, but it should be in the context of where we are driving the agenda.
