Thanks, Chair. I'll be very brief.
Through you, Chair, to Madame Chabot, the reason it's much more important to have the officials here is to get the technical and administrative answers that we need. I'm on the government side; it's no disrespect to the ministers at all.
All of us are getting those calls. I applaud Madame Chabot for moving this forward, but we want to quickly get to the root of the problem, and the way to get to the root of the problem—we've been through this many times—is to talk to the officials who have that technical and administrative expertise, and who can really answer the questions.
That's why I proposed the amendment for one hour. After that, I'm hoping we can get on with other committee business and look at all the other motions that other members from all parties have tabled.
