I agree with Mr. McGuinty's suggestion, all the more because it might address the concerns of Ms. Duncan regarding the application of standards and the legislation.
In my opinion, in light of the budget, this would allow Ms. Duncan, as an elected representative, to ask her questions before the government tables its bill or its amendments. That way, we could debate the budget, which is huge and which certainly merits closer scrutiny.
I would even be willing to present a motion whereby we would spend two meetings on the main estimates. That would give us a good indication. We don't have any hidden intentions. We are putting everything on the table. We want to discuss the matter, but we also need to know which direction the government is headed in. In my view, we should spent two meetings on the main estimates and then we could spend two hours with the minister.
