We are obligated to have a report. My understanding is that we have to have that report back to the finance committee in both official languages, so there is some complication on that.
If we start with that mandate and work our way back, I think it would be.... If we're not going to meet Friday, and I don't think we are, I think we should have an expectation, as a committee, to come out of our final four hours tomorrow with as much progress as we can agree on.
From my perspective, and I mentioned this briefly yesterday, too—I mentioned it to Ms. Leslie, who from my understanding is the lead from your particular party, and I spoke with Ms. Duncan and Mr. Anderson—given the testimony we've already heard to date, I think each party has their position clearly defined on what they would like to see in the report.
I would suggest that we get that to the analysts as early as possible, even tomorrow, even though we're going to hear a couple of more hours of testimony tomorrow. If we have enough information that we can get to the analysts first thing tomorrow morning—and I suggest that information go directly to the analysts—they could have some semblance of a draft that we could at least have a look at. We could add whatever things we think are salient from tomorrow's two hours of testimony and have at least a modicum of a starting point so we could discuss either key recommendations or salient issues we would like to see in the report.
It would be my hope, as chair, that we could find as much common ground as possible. I'm also a realist. I don't think there's going to be common ground on all fronts, and I would expect then that we would have discussions about whether or not we would have a dissenting report.
Does that answer your question, Mr. Chisholm?
