I just wanted to clarify something.
I have to say I find this debate a little unusual, but that's your culture and your committee. I don't want to come in as an outsider and tell you.... We go through very similar sorts of things at the public accounts committee. We just went through the RCMP pension scandal, so you can appreciate some of the dynamics that were at play. We used the steering committee. We would have been totally up the river without a paddle had we not had our steering committees. So I support them as a concept; I know they work. What I don't want to do is have the government members believe that I'm kicking a gift horse in the mouth here.
So what is your problem?
