Mr. Chairman, I would imagine that together with the office of the clerk, you conducted a very rigorous analysis of the expenses to be committed and that you will be monitoring that closely. Among other things, be sure to ensure that Doug Finley is not paid twice. That would strike me as proper. I would imagine that all the committees are handled properly.
If we were to hear only the witnesses that the Conservative Party would like to hear, then clearly it would not cost us a cent. Because from the outset, the Conservatives have not even wanted us to carry out this analysis. So they cannot be expected to agree that we should be hearing witnesses. Even when witnesses are highly relevant, they say every time that they are people whose evidence is neither necessary nor useful. That is what we have been hearing from the very beginning. As I said earlier, they sow chaos and then complain about it.
In short, I fully agree. [Inaudible - Editor ].
