I actually agree with Mr. Menzies that this committee has an important responsibility to provide solid recommendations for a good budget. To do that, we need to have solid information on the fiscal situation and the cost of these initiatives. I think that we agree on the importance of having solid information. That's why the finance committee needs to be seized with this.
If other committees want to pursue other courses of action--the industry committee seeking information on job creation, or government ops on.... They're free to do that, but this committee is the one that is most closely in charge of developing budget recommendations, which is why this committee is the appropriate place to be asking these questions.
