I'll certainly take that suggestion under advisement. I had always assumed this committee worked quite collaboratively. In fact, it's actually been a joy to work with this committee and for this committee.
Let me just explain that between meetings we have emergent things that appear from time to time. In this case, I was taking note of the fact that at our last meeting we had the RCMP scheduled to appear. We kept them waiting, and then at the last minute, because of votes, we decided not to hear them. So we wanted to accommodate them with an additional hour. We could have put them into the two hours we have today, but that would have compromised some of the testimony or the time that today's witnesses would have to provide their own testimony. We're just trying to be reasonable.
I will certainly ask the clerk to correspond with you a little more in the future just to get your feelings as to whether an extension is appropriate. But I also note that the agenda is sent out usually in a timely manner. The notice of meeting spells out exactly what times are proposed. It can be and often is amended, sometimes even on three or four occasions, to reflect changing circumstances. I ask all of you to take note of the notice of agenda as soon as you receive it. If you have a problem with it, please advise me or the clerk, and we'd be pleased to work with you in making sure our committee works well.
Having said that, I am now going to move to our....
Do we have two more?
Mr. Woodworth.
