Well, I think circumstances have changed, obviously, since we came to the agreement. We now have a choice as a committee to at some point have.... Let's look at our choices. Our choices are to listen to the same witnesses on the census issue that we heard over the course of several meetings in the summer, on a private member's bill that's not due to be back to the House until May 12, or we can hear witnesses on the Investment Canada Act.
It's incumbent upon us as a committee to decide what our priority is. The new information, obviously, is that there's news of a merger. It's obviously very public. It has been a topic of questions in question period during leaders' round in recent days.
Mr. Chair, with respect, I think it's incumbent on us as a responsible committee to focus on priorities. I think the Investment Canada Act study should be a priority for us.
