I have a similar comment, Mr. Chair. The study we're undertaking now involves complex issues of tax evasion, tax avoidance and very concerning, troubling cases of Canadians who have suffered as a result. Why would we undermine the ability of the witnesses whom we've already brought to the table to have the full time available to them to provide the testimony they need and for us to ask those questions? We've set aside time to discuss some procedural issues, some committee issues; let us do it within those time frames. These committee meetings already are often truncated by votes, and we don't get a chance to ask the questions that we had really expected to.
Again I'm hoping you, Mr. Chair, will allow us to proceed with the committee as we originally scheduled.
