Mr. Chair, I would like a bit of clarification from the NDP on one point. When we started having these meetings, we heard from them numerous times that they wanted to make sure we had adequate hearings, and we booked 18 hours of hearings for all of us to get more information about this part of the budget bill. But I notice that Mr. Julian and Ms. Leslie are both gone—the lead critic for Natural Resources and the lead critic for Environment.
We've accommodated them with these hours. I understand the importance of them going to Alberta and trying to limit the political damage out there, but I want to know—I guess I should point out as well that I think the member for Edmonton—Strathcona was supposed to accompany them and chose not to, perhaps out of embarrassment—if the NDP are interested in having these meetings carry through until tomorrow night, or whether they feel we've had adequate hearings and maybe they want to cut back tomorrow night.
Could Mr. Chisholm answer that question?
