Thank you.
As a visitor to your committee, I'm fascinated by this. Requesting six ministers is certainly audacious. I've been in opposition so far back that... I'm so old that I remember when Paul Martin was here. I remember when Stephen Harper was here. God, getting a minister to a committee was life-changing. Six ministers—that's something. I think the most I've ever seen is two.
I would have suggested a narrower focus with a longer time, so that you could actually drill down. If you want six ministers, even getting them to all appear at the same time.... Who knows when that's going to happen? Good luck with it.
We're interested in the amendment because I don't think you could take on this many ministers in this order as it stands now for the supplementary estimates. I just think that's much too big an appetite. If they want to reduce the number of ministers and extend the time, we'd be open to that, or we'll follow the debate and see where it goes.
