Thank you.
I appreciate Mr. Virani's points. Respectfully, through you, Mr. Chair, in referencing the notion of other committees' dysfunction, filibuster or what have you, we recognize the reality of the constraints of committee scheduling.
I don't want to mislead the public, or have the public be misled, about our not doing the work simply because we don't want to work more frequently. The reality is there are administrative constraints here. Coming out of this meeting, people are able to have their own comments, but they can't have their own facts. The fact remains that we don't have the carte blanche ability to sequester all the translators and clerks, and bring in Zoom, to do this multiple times a week. That's just not the case. The process is what it is because we have administrative constraints, not because anybody's looking to frustrate the process or prolong this for quite some time.
To the other point about what Canadians want, I keep hearing that. I want to reference, again, the imbalance we have when it comes to access to information—the most basic information, Mr. Chair.
