Why don't we actually ask someone from the department to appear before the committee first? We can ask them tough questions and decide what documents we want after that. I don't think we're going to want truckloads of documents. I think we're going to be able to pin down what we want. I'd rather us use some of our committee time to ask some difficult questions.
This is a very important issue, especially when it comes to search and rescue. I absolutely, wholeheartedly support Mr. Paul-Hus' work in wanting to get to the bottom of this and get some answers, but I do want to make sure that we're not spending thousands of public service hours to bring forward documents when we could probably get that in some questions to someone from the department.
I just think it's really expensive and it's onerous on the taxpayer. I want to make sure that we're being efficient. I think we can still ask for whatever we need after we've asked questions. They would have to supply that as a witness anyway.
