Yes. I think it makes infinite good sense. It's good common sense and has been the practice across the committees here; it provides the members with the remarks of the minister, and I think it's sufficient. Anything released in advance would open itself up to various kinds of uses and abuses that certainly I don't think would be acceptable. It meets the needs of the committee to know what the minister is saying as she's speaking, and I think it certainly conforms to the gist of the motion. So with that amendment we would support it, and without that amendment we would not.
