Thank you very much, Chair, and you're absolutely right. I should not be so presumptuous as to assume that members across the way who are requesting millions of pages of documents within 30 days are not going to read those documents within 30 days also.
The point I was trying to make is that when a committee has the opportunity to bring in witnesses—and my understanding is that witnesses are coming in—and to be strategic, specific and more efficient about the types of documents that they're looking for from officials, then why would we want to do a blanket search and put our public service through such a hassle in order to...?
I'll just leave it at that, Mr. Chair, but I am hopeful that we can come to a resolution on this amendment. I'm happy to speak with members across the way as well, to see how we can find efficiencies and work together with the public service, with the committee members, all of them, and try to get to a collective objective that helps Canadians and that respects Canadian tax dollars as well.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
