I want to say that I was really looking forward to having the officials here, because the last time they were here, they were very good at giving us fantastic explanations so that we could dig in and understand each of the different issues.
For Mr. Fragiskatos to suggest that I'm trying to make this take too long is absolutely outrageous. If I go to my accountant, I can ask questions, and I can't ask questions of the officials who are here? They've come. They did a great job last time. I would love to be able to ask the same questions again.
This is billions of dollars, and there is suddenly an idea that I cannot ask questions because you have a timeline? This is Canadian taxpayers' money. We need to be very, very conscientious.
Honestly, how can we think that we can do this that fast and then pretend that the officials are here to help us? Are they here to help us here or not? I cannot follow it as fast as it's going.
If you look at the document, you can see why it's not that easy. As Mr. Easter mentioned, we're dealing with all sorts of different levels of documents at once.
Please give us the time to actually ask questions and for the officials to give us a bit of an overview of what it is we're looking at, and in which clause. Right now, the way we're doing it, we don't have a single chance to do that.
