Okay. All right.
I have two points I want to raise.
I know Monsieur Villemure and I did have a conversation about this, and I really respect and appreciate the wonderful expertise and passion that Monsieur Villemure brings to the table. I really appreciate it.
We heard from Monsieur Drapeau earlier today that 30 business days seems like a reasonable time to give to departments to be able to produce documents. In this instance, I realize and understand and appreciate, based on our conversation, Monsieur Villemure, that perhaps something a little bit more urgent would be necessary. If I may suggest very humbly and with a great amount of respect for the work that you do, perhaps we can move it to the end of November to allow for those 30 business days.
Then the second point I will make—and again I respect and understand the reason you've put this motion forward—is that I just think there should be a little bit more clarity as to which witnesses are required to produce which documents.
I think you just responded to Mr. Fergus that, for example, number one would be Monsieur Guay, that number two would perhaps be the Department of Public Works and Government Services and that number three would also be the public works department. Would that be something that we are able to just outline specifically, instead of saying, “Here are the witnesses. These are the documents. Now go figure out what you think it all means”? It would be great to have clarity on who is expected to produce which documents. In the event of vagueness or overbroadness, since we know that nobody really responds to anything, perhaps that is something you're willing to consider: to put a witness to each of the three listed items.
Thank you. Those are my comments, Mr. Chair.
