Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Just along the same lines, I sense that we may be misunderstanding what a task force does. In my experience as a city councillor, we often established task forces to do what was essentially fact-finding, or determining on a fairly informal and flexible basis the prevailing facts that would help us come to a decision. On each occasion, there was no overtly public process. Somebody was charged with managing the task force. That individual would then go out and solicit the information that he or she needed and would come back to city council, and then the city council would determine whether public hearings were required.
Task forces, as I understand them, are more informal in their nature.
Could you comment?
