Hon. Dominic LeBlanc Mr. Chair, I've already talked to Mr. Bachand and I believe he will agree to a friendly amendment. We agree to his motion. I would simply add this at the end: “...and that the ministers be invited to appear individually for one hour.” I just don't want us to end up having one hour for a panel of three ministers. In our view, it is not desirable. I would like us to be able to invite the ministers individually and give them each one hour. That's the reason behind my amendment.
Mr. Chair, I will also leave this in your hands since I would have also liked to invite the National Research Council of Canada. I believe they could shed some light on some situations. As I understand it, Mr. Bachand is not opposed to that. I am not sure whether we need another friendly amendment or another motion for another meeting. I don't think there would be any controversy.
Thank you.
