In response to Mr. Turnbull, I have no doubt that the Minister has consulted.
So far, we’ve all invited witnesses, and Lord knows the list is still quite long. Personally, I’d like to know who was consulted about all the witnesses appearing later, so that we can prepare for our future meetings.
So far, among all the high-level experts, if I can call them that, who’ve appeared before us, it seems that no one was consulted. I’d like to know if we’ve missed anyone on the list of those who were consulted. If so, perhaps we should have invited them to appear before the Committee.
I understand that it’s getting late to invite new witnesses. That said, the motion would at least allow us to gather references, find out what recommendations these people made that were not taken up, etc. In the set of documents we’re requesting, we may be able to find answers to these questions.
I repeat, I’m not at all questioning the fact that the Minister consulted 300 organizations or individuals.
