Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think I'm being very clear, actually, in terms of my views on this subamendment.
Mr. Thériault, I hear you. However, I would ask us, having called witnesses before in other matters, to also hear our concern that, based on what we know of the situation right now, Mr. Imbleau is not proposed to be here to contribute to a discussion of the Minister of Finance's conflict of interest screen that the minister established inside the Ministry of Finance. There is a deeper proposition here, a deeper expedition, that stems from, frankly, a concern on the other side of the table about this project as a whole.
To bring Mr. Imbleau here, to take him away from what we think is a very important role, driving this project forward, to participate in a fishing expedition, is not a good use of his time at a time when we are trying to cut this project's approval time in half. That requires the attention of the CEO. We want him to be doing the work of actually getting high-speed rail on track and advancing at high speed, so to speak.
