I don't know; maybe we can come to a compromise.
On the point you make about a consensus on having a meeting, just to be clear, I don't agree that we need to have a meeting. We've heard from the witnesses. We're going to hear the same testimony again. I don't personally agree with that.
What I have tried to do is to say that it looks like there's a consensus among the opposition parties to have a meeting, and we don't have the numbers, so clearly we're going to have a meeting at some point. Now we're trying to decide on a date, and this is the back and forth. I'm hoping that there will be some compromise on the other side.
One thing I would say, and maybe there's some room for compromise in this, is that maybe we could call a two-minute time out in the meeting here. If Mr. Garneau gives us the list of witnesses that he's put forward--I assume that in the spirit of fairness he's contacted witnesses on both sides of the debate--and if we're satisfied that some of the witnesses on his list are witnesses on the opposite side from him in the debate, then clearly we can get witnesses who have had some notice. But at this point, it seems like we're being set up by the opposition parties for a debate with absolutely no notice on the other side.
