To try to expedite the committee's business, given the nature of previous work on employment insurance, we had agreed, both the NDP and the Bloc, not to send for the witnesses that we had announced. If we open that door, I imagine that we too will want to bring back witnesses. I don't know which witnesses the Liberals want to have appear. I want to avoid us finding ourselves with an imbalance, as was the case for Bill C-257.
