It seems to me that we've passed motions inviting people at other committees. I'm saying that we invite, not that we subpoena. This is very open-ended. To show good faith, it's open-ended. I believe this, first of all, is a core group of witnesses who we must see. However, it's quite open-ended and it's quite balanced in the sense that I'm asking that we invite representatives of the Alberta government--Alberta environment, Alberta health--and that we invite various industry representatives. I want a balanced look at this.
This can of course be discussed in a subcommittee, but as a bare minimum I think we have to invite these people. We can also discuss the notion of a trip at a subcommittee. I am approaching this with a sincere openness, Chair. That is to say, I hope we find there's no problem and I hope we find it's all about oil sands oozing naturally into the river. I don't know what the answer is, but Dr. David Schindler is an expert, and many others are experts.
I really think as a bare minimum it's important that we meet these people, and let's discuss other witnesses and what this study should look like at the subcommittee. I'm very open to doing that.
