Thank you, Madam Chair.
Allow me first to comment on the spirit of compromise that appears to have enveloped all of us today. It's great to see.
First of all, thank you, Mr. Poilievre, for accepting that the appearance by the minister would be of limited utility, given that he can only comment on the guidelines.
Those guidelines, I would add, are available to the members. We can all look at those without having the minister appear before this committee.
The other issue I would appreciate weighing in on is the issue raised by my colleague Nathan Erskine-Smith on the [Technical difficulty—Editor] for all of us to bear in mind that we do have a robust process in place with the three different entities that we're all aware of and that this will go on for at least another year. I think it's important for us to bear in mind that, irrespective of when we do produce the report, these three different entities will have the benefit of our perspective.
I would be grateful if Mr. Poilievre could once again respond to why he thinks this is so urgent that we have to do it as soon as possible.
Thank you.
