We do not see a point to having a summary of evidence because everything is a matter of public record anyways. It will all appear in the committee's blues. What's more, it creates additional work for our researchers. This is a report that has to be handed in Monday morning so we can discuss it Monday morning.
We do not object at all to including a summary of evidence, but it is important to keep in mind that, given the time constraints, it cannot be an exhaustive summary. It should cover the key points made by each witness—we have no problem with that—but it should not be something that overwhelms the researchers and prevents them from doing their work.
Obviously, since there was no evidence, the crux would be the recommendations—so, two pages. I am not sure whether my Liberal colleagues would support this, but I would be prepared to simply remove two paragraphs, the first and the last. The crux clearly being the second paragraph, I don't think there is much we could take out there.
