I'd like to make another amendment, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Kmiec has rightfully raised the question of whether the minister should be providing his own consultation. I would hate to put your minister in that kind of position, so perhaps we should exclude his testimony to himself just out of practicality and fairness.
Many people, I think, would be extremely aggravated to find out that we would be sending testimony presented by the finance minister to himself. I'm sure they would take issue with some of the statements, but it also does not run a clean consultation process. I know members of Parliament want to do right by the Canadian people.
