Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am not opposed to hearing other witnesses, particularly if they are from the banking sector, caisses populaires or credit unions.
I realize that one way or another we will have an hour available perhaps on February 13 or 15. If the minister and officials are not available on February 13, but are available on the 15th, we would have an additional hour on the 13th to hear these new witnesses. Consequently I suggest that we hear them on February 13, if the minister is not available.
