Mr. Chairman, there was a letter, which I believe members have, from the minister addressed to you. I think we all have it. I think it was Mr. Zed who raised the comment.... This letter deals with the topic before us. In the final paragraph, he states:
I would be pleased to appear before the Committee to further discuss the issues raised by the discussion paper.
I'm only going to repeat what I said, that I believe before we get into legislation we should hear from Commissioner Reid.
Not only that; I believe we should hear from the minister. The minister says he'd be prepared to come to have a chat with us. I believe that before we get into rattling our sabres, those two people should come. Messrs. Zed, Martin, and I did hear Commissioner Reid, but we're only three people, and other members of the committee may wish to ask some questions.
