To be crystal clear, I am manufacturing a “for instance” here. This is not a statement about anything. I manufacture the “for instance” that the minister, for reasons best known to herself, chooses a highly qualified individual to do this review. During the course of the review, the individual intends to hire experts on particular aspects of the review. Are you suggesting that after interviewing this one individual, before he or she could hire these experts, they would have to be referred back? This is what I'm referring to as micromanagement.
For all the reasons that Mr. Angus just stated in terms of the expertise, the background, certainly the desire to move forward and do what is in the best interest of Canadians, this committee has a responsibility, and the minister wants that responsibility to be carried out by this committee. I suggest that Mr. Bélanger's motion accomplishes that without getting into the micromanagement.
