I think those comments were attributed to me, because initially I was asking that we do that, but there is nothing in front of us to suggest we do that.
First of all, if this committee is in fact the committee that has oversight to the institute, I think we have some responsibility, if we find there are problems, to make recommendations. I guess what Mr. Rae has said is fine. I think if people see there are major problems with the way things were done, and there could be changes made, then we should recommend. Recall that this institute was born out of a report from this committee and that we are the ones who have oversight to the institute.
I think it's incumbent on us not just to hear from people—and there will be contentious issues, no doubt—but if there are things that need to be repaired, we make recommendations. I think it's a reasonable thing in the spirit of cooperation here today that we look at having that as an option. We can do that as a committee, Chair. We can say that after what we've heard, we think we should make some recommendations. We might even come up with them without having to spend weeks hearing from people. We might actually come up with some things everyone agrees to; you never know.
I'll just refrain from commenting on Mr. Abbott's comments. I'm not going to bite today, Jim, and I'll leave it there.
