Chair, I won't say much on the substance of this program.
On the central point around testimony, I agree that it doesn't make much sense for two ministers to come and testify concurrently. I don't think that's a great use of their time. Ministers are busy people. We want to maximize the opportunity for interaction when a minister comes to the committee.
It would make a lot more sense to me to have one minister come to answer questions, then another minister come to answer questions, rather than having two sit at the table at once. A minister would still have to sit there for the full hour but with proportionally less interaction with the committee. It would make more sense to have an hour each, or even 50 minutes each, so there's more opportunity for actual questions and answers.
We can get into debating the policy, but I think the gist of the intervention, for Ms. Larouche, was the concurrent scheduling. I don't think the concurrent scheduling makes sense.
