I understand.

I have a final question. In your report, and you repeated that this morning, you suggest that the committee invite deputy ministers to come and explain the specific impact this freeze on departmental budget envelopes will have on staff and on programs.

First off, you understand that we cannot hear from all deputy ministers and all departments, as we have limited time. Moreover, if these people do not provide you with the information, how can they provide us to it?
