Mr. Chair, I was simply going to say that the witnesses we have heard to date have all been examined. We were able to ask them questions.
I believe there are fundamental principles to be observed in a committee's work and treating all witnesses the same way is one of them. I believe it is profoundly unfair to accept written testimony without having the opportunity to ask questions and to see and hear the witnesses. I think that what my colleagues are doing is essentially stretching the study out for another year. Once those documents have been presented and that written testimony has been given, they are surely going to want to see those witnesses so they can question them.
I think they are doing indirectly what can't be done directly by way of the other amendments.
