Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Hello, everyone. My question is also a comment.
The proposed list is very long. Normally, I would say that many of the proposed witnesses are outside the mandate or authority of our committee. I also remind the committee that we are in a time of crisis and that appearing before a parliamentary committee often requires a great deal of preparation, especially for people who are not used to it.
Perhaps we should look at the proposed list, remembering that we are in the midst of a crisis and that many people inside and outside government are very much involved. If those people are called before this committee and before the health or industry committees or any other committee that is meeting right now, that could be a lot. I would like us to be able to clarify the situation or coordinate with other committees to divide the appearances of these witnesses among the committees.
I would ask you to consider this concern, because I think our plan is very ambitious.
