Mr. Chairman, that is precisely why the minister will be the lead-off witness. If his staff or his departmental officials have suggestions as to witnesses, perhaps you could circulate them, Mr. Chair, to members of the committee, and on July 31 we can take a few minutes in that long day to see if we want to adjust the list for August 21. I think the minister is in a good position.
What we need to understand, Mr. Chairman, is why on April 27 there was a certain set of circumstances that gave rise to a number of reactions, and then on July 1, in our view, there were substantive changes, and the minister is now basically standing alone, saying, “This is great for the industry”. That's the process we need to understand, and that's why it's appropriate that he lead off on July 31.
