Okay. It's just a matter of hunting stuff down. This committee is huge. I know that I would appreciate the biannual or the annual.... Whatever is appropriate to start with is good with me. We don't want to create extra work. You could be doing all kinds of wonderful work out there that we're not even aware of, especially under science, technology, innovation, and so forth.
I would just encourage that, for me. People could opt out of it, if they don't want it. You could invite them to do it. If they don't want to receive it, then it wouldn't be a waste of resources and time for you. But I would find it interesting.
In the section of your speaking notes entitled “Challenges & Opportunities”, you have a point which says:
Canada's ability to develop and maintain standards has been impacted by reduced funding, a decrease in experts and more complex standards. Canada is relying more and more on regional (U.S.) or international standards.
How much have you been reduced in budget for the last number of years? When did it take a dip, and how much are you behind in terms of where you think you need to be?
