There are time pressures with respect to Canadians who are concerned about what this bill might do to the environment and to the fisheries.
One of the things that came up tonight was the whole question of the designated projects list, the fact that it's not available and how significant that is. It was recommended to us that we not sign off on this until we get some clarity on the designated projects list.
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to ask that we invite the ministers back before the committee—they appeared here Friday morning, I believe, and unfortunately I missed them—to entertain our questions and perhaps respond on at least the whole question of the designated projects list.
There are many other things that we need to talk with the ministers about, as we heard, but I think we should take seriously the recommendation that we were given tonight: it would be reckless, beyond reckless, if we were to proceed and pass this through without getting some idea of what's on that designated list.
So I'd like to ask that we call the ministers. I don't know when that would happen, whether that would be Friday or Monday. We can do a good bit of the report. This has happened before. We can do a good chunk of the report.
We need to hear from the ministers on at least that whole question of the designated project list.
