I'm not opposed to any one group.
To be blunt, last fall I had members coming to me and saying there were too many meetings. We've added a motion today that is going to add meetings. I'm not opposed to adding any more witnesses. Any time a witness is added, though, I want it to be very clear that this means the chair will add meetings upon meetings this fall for pre-budget hearings.
We have about 430 who have submitted; I think 155 are now on the list. We're going to be adding more. I'm not opposed to that. I'm just saying let's be cognizant and let's not beat up the chair when names are added. The consequence of adding names to the list is more meetings.
I'm fine with that if committee members do that, with the knowledge that I will add meetings.
Mr. Menzies.
