Mr. Kramp, we have some responsibilities that are directly ours, and we can certainly explain them to the new members. There is also quite a good book that was distributed to all the members, which explains that this committee is responsible for the Treasury Board, for the PCO, for Public Works--I don't have the list in front of me--and for a number of crown corporations. We are also responsible for the Governor General and the estimates.
We are masters of our own destiny. Now we know that the appointment of Mr. Morgan was referred to this committee, so there's nothing stopping us from doing that immediately.
We also know that we invite ministers. We will invite the President of the Treasury Board, the Minister of Public Works, the head of Canada Post, and the head of the public service, because they are basically under our review; they're not under our direction per se, but we review them.
So I think we should get started, and we should issue some letters. You'll have to understand, sometimes we want certain witnesses to come to us on a certain day but they can't. If that happens, then maybe we'll do a bit of an overview, and we'll have a longer discussion. That will allow us in the meantime to have a steering committee meeting and have a better idea of where we're going. But I would really like us not to waste committee time and to get going, because these things can take time in and of themselves.
Yes, Mr. Kramp.
