I'll respond first, before I give the floor to you, Mr. Warawa.
It's part of my responsibility and duty as chair of this committee to fulfill the administrative role of making sure that our meetings are scheduled and that we are productive and working. I have no control, unfortunately, over witnesses.
We did have four witnesses who originally said they would be appearing on Wednesday. All four have now since cancelled on us. In the interests of time, especially since the last one to decline the invitation did so just around lunchtime today, and to keep us moving forward, I made the decision that we go back to SARA on Wednesday and continue working on the issues and options paper.
If you, as committee members, want to be talking to the potential witnesses we have invited to ensure that they do show up, I'd encourage you to do so. Unfortunately, we have no control over their schedules. But it does make it much more difficult for us to present a balanced report when we're not getting all the information brought forward.
Go ahead, Mr. Warawa.
