I do, Mr. Chair, to follow up and say that that's why I support the amendment. I believe that the amendment brings a proper and orderly course to this discussion, to this gathering of evidence, as we say.
Notwithstanding what's been said across the way, I think we need to get to the bottom of this issue. We need to get it properly done. But for the sake of what appears to be expediency on some members' parts...we have to do this right. We have to be well informed. I'll say it again: the researchers and analysts have not had a chance to take a look at this. They presented us with nothing.
Here we are called to a meeting, we see this report for the first time, and you want to send us in to see witnesses. All we've seen are newspaper reports. That's the only thing that has been available to us to get properly prepared.
Again, I say that I would be loathe to get into this rather contentious issue without having the proper background and the information that I need as a committee member to properly exercise my responsibility.
So I support the amendment.
