That's okay. I'm happy to have that done.
When ministers appear before committees, if they come at estimates or to discuss a mandate letter, it's always interesting. You can ask the minister almost anything, because there's what's in the mandate letter and there's what's not in the mandate letter. It's pretty broad. I think the way it's written would be broad enough to ask the minister for her expectations, but using the mandate letter as a guide for the minister and a template would help focus the discussion. I'm happy to move that, although I'd be surprised if you can get the minister here that fast.
What I would suggest is that we do meet tomorrow, and I'll tell you why.
We've had probably 20 good ideas. I think what we have to do is figure out the next three years, and we have to figure out the next three months at this point. I think all we have to do tomorrow is get a good jump, even in an hour, by picking two or three issues that we'd like to work on right away, so that we can at least give the analysts some direction. We'll have to come back to the committee, I believe, on Monday or Wednesday to make the decision to ratify the suggestion of the steering committee. That means next week is pretty much a wash, except for these other two things that I'm going to suggest in a moment.
I think we should get a start tomorrow, even if it's only for an hour. Is that okay?
