I think that visits from some companies can be relevant. When the people from MDA came to talk about satellites, it was directly related to our study. But I am of the same opinion as Mr. Coderre.
I would like a guarantee that our trip will take place before the results of the study are tabled in the House. For me, it is closely related to the study. We are saving time, but I would not like us to write the report, to vote on it and table it in the House in a few weeks without having travelled.
I am not one who travels for heck of it, as my mother used to say, but when you are doing a study on the Arctic, you have to see how things are at the moment, even if you have already been there several times. I think it is vital for our study.
Mr. Chair, I would like to know if preparations are still underway for us to be able to make this trip.
