Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I want to thank the members for their input.
I was wondering if we could talk about the subamendment and take a step back for a moment, because as my colleague, Mr. Stanton, said, this is the first time it has been mentioned that we'd like to have the minister here. I know the minister would like to come and discuss things with the committee.
First I'd like to know this from the clerk. If these are substantial changes to this notice of motion, do we need a new one brought forward to the committee?
Maybe a simpler way to address this might be, if we could agree, to have the committee write a letter to the minister asking him to please come before the committee within four to six weeks. As I heard Mr. Simard say, make it really simple; don't put anything in front of it, so that you can ask him whatever and have it a bit more open. That way might be a simpler way to address this entire situation.
