Before I vote, Mr. Chairman, I want to know what I am voting on. Correct me if I am wrong. We heard witnesses in the past, with regard to employment insurance reform, and to my knowledge, we did not create any budget for that purpose. Did the witnesses who came before the holidays come here without our adopting a budget?
I would simply like to understand what is going on. We are not only talking about the video-conference fees, but we are also dealing with the expenses of the witnesses. Did the witnesses who came before the holidays claim their expenses? Were they entitled to that? Did they know that they were entitled to a refund of their expenses? Are we now creating a rule whereby we will pay the expenses of the witnesses we invited pursuant to the Conservative motion? Mr. Chairman, I would just like to understand this before voting. I have always voted on issues that I understood. However, I do not understand this one.
