I'm just tangled up in all this stuff.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you for policing yourself so judiciously. It was quite remarkable. Alistair and I both commented on that.
In terms of this, taking a cue from Mr. Beatty, I'm absolutely in agreement with Mr. Motz—no partisanship here. I don't think we can determine things like the witness lists until we've determined our scope, our mandate and our terms of reference. Call it what you want, but I think we need to figure out what we're looking at. Then we feed in the witnesses, the kinds of witnesses we want based on an agreement as to what we're looking at as a committee.
I think committee business makes eminent sense to deal with at the next meeting. In our back pocket—I would agree with Mr. Motz—we should have a general sense of the types of witnesses we'd like to have. If we get through the committee business and are able to hammer out the terms of reference, great. Then we can start working on proposing witnesses.
