As long as Ms. Collins doesn't mind me just kind of just being like a bull in a China shop with her motion, then I think we should just to do that so that everyone has certainty as to what we'll be doing first thing as a committee. The one thing I wanted to make absolutely clear, though, is that, regarding the routine motion that was passed in terms of witnesses, I believe that the environment commissioner would be treated somewhat akin to a government department. We're not going to be saying, “I want this assistant of the environment commissioner as a witness” because that's not the intent here. The intent here is to have the environment commissioner, and he can choose who he brings in.
