Madame Lalonde, let me just say a couple of things.
First of all, I think you're giving these lawyers way too much credit. I have sat with you on committee for many years, and I have a lot of confidence in your ability to question the witnesses and to find out. The idea, I think, of committee is to take in information and to ask questions. It is not necessarily to cross-examine and knock down every argument everyone brings. I have a lot of confidence in you.
Let me also say that we did try to bring in today someone from the other perspective. The Sierra Club was scheduled to come last Tuesday. They were fogged in, in Toronto, and just that morning I found out that they were unable to be here, so we reshuffled. We invited them today, and our understanding is that they could be here Thursday. Then last night we found out that they couldn't be here.
We do have others who want to appear Tuesday. We'll bring them in. On the other side of it, there will be those from the other perspective who will perhaps want to appear on Tuesday, and they may, again, be alone unless we find someone. We will try. We have tried. I know you'll do, as all our committee members do, a fine job.
Go ahead, Mr. Obhrai.
