Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It seems to me that if one of the goals of the committee is to get information to make wise decisions, then I'm not sure that we should shortchange a speaker for an hour or so. I missed the meeting on September 15 because it was called after we had called the Saskatchewan caucus to meet in Saskatoon. I chair that caucus, and therefore I couldn't be here on the 15th. I regret that I didn't hear the presentation. I'd very much like to hear the presentation and hear that speaker.
And again, Chair, if our goal in taking extra time to work through this is to be investigative, to hear people, then I think it's just automatic that we should hear the witness to the extent that we all have a chance to hear him. I apologize that I didn't have a chance to hear him because of other commitments.
