Forgive me if my newness to this committee is reflected in the naiveté with which I ask the question.
It seems to me that the asking of questions is not just designed to support a position; it's also to bring out of a witness information that the government may be the most informed about and that should be on the table. So I'll be supporting the proposal of my colleague. In the event that it fails, I hope the chair will understand how critical it is for the government to get in its questions, be it at the beginning or at the end of the process.
