Thanks.
I guess what I'd say, Mr. Chair, is that I'm disappointed that members want to spend time on this. We have had hearings on this, as members well know. The ones who were here already would remember, despite our previous discussion, that this program was not run out of Heritage and had nothing to do with Heritage. The Department of Canadian Heritage made no decisions on this program at all--including the bureaucrats there. So we did have a meeting in the past that dealt with this. Members had their questions answered.
We do have a finite number of meetings left. I think we've entered into a study. We've had discussions about other things that are worth the committee's time. I'd like to go onto something substantive. Given that we've already had our questions answered on this--or certainly it seemed to me that the questions were answered when we had this meeting previously--and I know that members across the way will recall that we've already had this, it just seems to me like a shocking and disturbing waste of time.
Conservative members, all four of them and the one who's missing, will vote against it, but if members choose to waste meetings on things we've already done, that's within the purview of the committee.
