I guess my concern is that if the Conservatives feel strongly about nanotechnology, then some of the potential witnesses might have responded by now, in terms of you actually coaching them and coaxing them to accept the invitation that the committee has made. As the clerk has said, not one of those witnesses has agreed to come, and so it seems the obvious one that should be pushed out of the way.
I also think that it is such a huge issue; to think that we're going to do due diligence to anything like the risks and benefits of nanotechnology in one meeting, without any ability to report back to the House or do a report or even a letter to the minister, is, I think, not only ambitious but not possible. I think it is the obvious one.
I also think that in terms of Ms. McLeod's comments about the pushing and shoving, as long as the minister can come, we would take her on whatever day she would come and move the other ones around, eliminating nanotechnology.
