Thank you, Chair.
I think the responsible way to proceed on this is what we've done. We're showing goodwill. This was a very helpful suggestion. I obviously want to take a closer look at the wording.
I think it would be a little more responsible if we put exact timing on the response. It would be helpful. Just as Mr. Siksay had noted, we want to show goodwill, we want to work with the minister, but we haven't been encouraged by the responses that we've received to date. I think we need to provide timing, perhaps. The report was tabled in the second week of June, so we're getting close to a half a year wherein the minister has had an opportunity to go through all those points. Your suggestion was that we have it before us when we come back after the Christmas break. I would suggest that we do a friendly amendment to Mr. Del Mastro's motion, removing the wording “without delay” and inserting instead specifically that we would request this be no later than whatever the Friday is of the second week of January.
