Speaking against the amendment, I have real concerns from a fiscal responsibility point of view. We have a government, we have an opportunity, we've had several meetings, we invite witnesses from across the country, and we're going to send members and staff all across the country, wasting taxpayers' money. If you want to do a consultation, why not have a conference call if you want to hear from these people? I think that's more efficient, using technology or videoconferencing rather than jet-setting from one side of the country to the other. I think it's a total waste of money. We're not utilizing our technology efficiently, our resources. We'll go right across the country.
We've heard from witnesses from across the country, the different associations. We've opened it up. I don't know about you in the summertime, when you guys have been on vacation, but I've allowed myself opportunities, been in consultation with our industry.
So I think it's wasting taxpayers' money.
