Thank you, Mr. Erskine-Smith.
I suggested four. I would be open, if we wanted, to having a meeting to discuss business on how many we go into, but I'd like to hear from the department. I'd like to hear from members of the financial industry, people from relevant affected sectors and experts who have been giving advice in the media on this particular issue, and I'd like to get some data and quantify it.
I put the number of meetings at four, which would be an approximately two-week study. I'm happy to have more than that if need be, but I think we can probably bang this out fairly quickly. The goal would be expediency, given that I would think these transactions are being looked at right now and these situations are escalating. I think it's incumbent upon Parliament and our committee to provide advice to the government on this. It's directly within the scope of our work.
