Mr. Chair, on this point, I want to just make sure that we all have the same understanding. As I understood it, the calendar was set that the minister would appear for the first hour on the main estimates and officials would appear on the second hour on the main estimates. That was the understanding. I think that was the schedule. I think we need to be very, very clear. If we want to make a change, that's up for discussion in the committee, but that was indeed what the discussion was.
I'm not saying I'm opposed to it. I just want to be very clear on what the calendar was and to ensure that we are doing what we said we were going to do. We might end up in a situation, after the minister is done in the first hour, where people say that we didn't have time with the officials to answer questions about main estimates because we decided to go to something else.
We've had a lot of this going back and forth in the committee. I just want to make sure that we're crystal clear about what we're doing and that everybody's on board with what we're doing before we go down the path.
