Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
As I recall, Mr. Tilson was the chairman of the committee and there was quite a bit of interest on this side of the table at the time. The priority was...in fact, I think there was a consensus that had developed from all sides to comply with the June 23 deadline. Obviously, there's been a general election since then, but I'm wondering, colleagues, whether or not it would be helpful to hear from the Minister of Justice on his philosophy regarding the backdrop of this, as well as from the commissioner, who I understand is now scheduled. I'm drawn to the logic of Mr. Tilson, which is that we should wait and really hear from the commissioner.
Philosophically, it strikes me that we have a new Minister of Justice, and he may not be the appropriate person, because at the time this was drafted, he was the appropriate person. I don't know if he is or he isn't, but if he is, then it strikes me we would want to hear from him as well.
