Well, we have a schedule that's already set out, and the committee feels that we want to make sure that those important issues aren't delayed.
We're faced with a situation where tens of thousands of people—I think it's much more than that, but we'll find out—have their citizenship under threat; it's questionable. Members are getting calls in their offices about the citizenship issue, and I think it's important that we meet that real challenge, because citizenship, as has been outlined by some of the newspaper stories, ends up costing jobs. No jobs means no money. No money means not paying mortgages and losing houses. That's the unfortunate case of Mr. Teichroeb, which was documented.
By having these meetings we accomplish a number of things. We give the minister a chance to tell us what she's doing. We also try to get from the officials a fairly good grasp of what the numbers are in terms of who is at risk, and we can get that by having at least one person in from CIC. I think it's important that we have one person in from CIC.
