Right.
For this week, we had the finance department, and Mr. Green, I think that you alluded to it. These individuals obviously were financial sector policy branch. The finance department writes our budgets, for Pete's sake. They were not the relevant witnesses to answer the questions related to the economic impact. In fairness to Ms. Jacques, that is not their forte. That's not their area.
We obviously need additional witnesses from finance—clearly we do. We also need some clarity around....
The clerk who was trying to get witnesses for this week obviously contacted as many as he could, and when he found a stream who were able to attend, I'm sure he pursued them with a bit more vigour. We really don't know who's available next week, if anyone.
As a committee, we should keep in mind that we still have a number of issues of committee business that we need to deal with. As much as we'd like to get at the witnesses, we also need to finish some other issues. If we can't find any witnesses for next week, save maybe one organization for the hour and a half, I would suggest that we set aside the other portion of the committee for committee business.
