Madam Chair, in my experience, one hour is enough to study the main estimates. In any case, if we changed anything in the main estimates, we would go back to the House of Commons and that could lead to a confidence vote.
It is rather about looking at the big picture and asking logical questions. Then we could make time to discuss the Correctional Service issue, for example. I am referring to the May 10 meeting where we have to welcome officials from the Privy Council Office to talk about the main estimates. During the other hour—it does not matter what goes first or second—we could address the Correctional Service issue because it has been dragging on for a long time.
Then, on May 26, we could hear Mr. Wright for an hour and Ms. Ambrose for the next hour on the main estimates. We have two hours; we can do two different things. We do not have to talk for two hours about a budget that we already know and that we cannot even change. Let us move the whole study forward.
As for SNC-Lavalin, Mr. Warkentin, its representatives are just across the river; they take a taxi and they are here. It is the same thing for Public Works and Government Services Canada. So, if we move their appearance from May 31 to June 7 or another date, it is not a big move. It is not like Montreal moving to Gatineau or Ottawa.
We can play around with the date of May 31 based on the availability of the players we are interested in for the green energy study. We must think about the ministers' offices, including Mr. Paradis, who was the Minister of Public Works and Government Services, and Ms. Ambrose, who is now running that department. That way, we get to the right targets for the discussion of topics that were announced ages ago.
Thank you.
