Thanks very much, Chair.
I would like to add a few words in French to respond to what Mr. Ste‑Marie just said.
I think we should talk about this outside of the committee, during a subcommittee meeting for example. We could talk about how to proceed and plan the work of the committee and establish how to study this issue as effectively as possible, whether by addressing what Mr. Blaikie raised or by inviting the minister.
There seems to be a desire to study this issue, but we should come to a consensus on the number of days we want to spend on studying it in detail.
That is what I propose.
