I don't know if we want to sort out specific banks. I think we want a representative from them so we get if from their perspective. Is that fair?

Mr. Menzies.

Ted Menzies Conservative Macleod, AB

I'm concerned that we don't get too many witnesses so they don't get a respectable opportunity to speak.

The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield

We'll try to hold it to a maximum of four in that last hour so that's not too much.

The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield

Okay, fair enough.

That gives you an indication of where we're going the week after the break, and then we can proceed after that with discussions as to who we need to call forward on this matter. But that does give us a directive so we know where we're going right after the break.

With that, we want to thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
