I know it was brought up that to get the most out of our witnesses we would want to bring them in from particular sectors or organized labour or businesses or from those who are impacted. If we're going to do that, I think we need to plan that, so to jump right in on Thursday and start calling in whatever witnesses are around town, I don't think would be wise in terms of how we want to plan out our work to do our due diligence on the TPP. Ms. Ramsey is right; we don't know if we want to have the officials in for just a day. We may need them for longer.
