Thank you, Minister.
Colleagues, I want to thank the minister. If there are more questions, we can make arrangements to have the minister back.
I have to note, though, that I noticed that on the last few opportunities for members to speak, we were drifting into debate, which sort of appears to me to mean that we've gotten through our questions, at least for the minister.
I want to thank the minister for being here this morning with his staff. I appreciate your being here to help the committee understand this bill. We certainly appreciate the extra half-hour you were able to give us this morning. We can excuse you now.
Colleagues, I would like to just point out a couple of things. By no means is this a request for a final list. But it seems to me that this is fresh in our minds right now. There have been some good suggestions around the table for reports we've been keeping track of that members wish to see, reports we might wish to summarize, and we'll certainly do that. But while it's still fresh in members' minds, if you would like to submit to our clerk any witnesses that you have in your minds right now, we can revisit this at another time. I'm not suggesting that this would be a final list, but rather than forget —
Here is the second issue I wish the committee to advise me on and help me with. I'm not sure that we can get any of the witnesses here for Thursday. We could probably get some of the research here and continue debate. But I'm going to leave it to the committee that this would be the only thing we would do on Thursday. I'm at the will of the committee. We either schedule a meeting on Thursday and move forward with whatever research we can get and whatever witnesses we can get, or we not have a meeting on Thursday and we conclude today.
Is there a brief discussion by anyone?
We'll have Mr. Preston.
