Mr. Chair, I am in favour of the motion. I think that we can find a way to work together on this issue. During the minister's appearance, I said that I was not satisfied with the answers given as to the reasons that led to the program budget cuts. I think this matter warrants debate, and we need to be able to ask questions.
That said, I agree with Mr. Del Mastro. I do not think that we should spend several weeks discussing the issue. I am in favour of the motion, but the committee could decide to limit the discussion to two or three meetings and agree on a witness list. Obviously, the list should remain open-ended, given that the motion was not adopted last time and Mr. Angus, myself, the Bloc Québécois and the Conservatives will want to add names to it.
I move that we adopt the motion, that we limit debate to two or three meetings and that we keep the list open in order to add names of witnesses.
