Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Mr. Julian a question, through you, if you don't mind.
I'm just curious to know what the NDP suggests we do as far as due diligence goes. Is the NDP suggesting that we have nine witnesses appear and nine hours of testimony given? Because if Mr. Julian has checked standard procedure, it is that most committees in fact do some homework behind the scenes, and if there's a problem, then they bring it forward.
As it stands, we have a very charged agenda, so I would ask Mr. Julian, through you, Chair, to explain what it is he's looking for, because I certainly don't see us finding nine hours. Again, the standard procedure is not as Mr. Julian has described. We do have a mandate to look at these, but again, what is Mr. Julian looking for in his submission to look at these?
