Further to that, Mr. Chairman, I wonder if this might be an idea. If we are having the minister come, and we accept the template that has been suggested by Mr. Ouellet, perhaps we could canvass members as to where they would like to see the minister address items of concern--policy development, whatever. Then the chair and the vice-chairs could try to present that in a focused letter, if you will, to give the minister an idea of what the committee's concerned about and where the committee sees itself going. Perhaps that would help the minister to energize the committee with its agenda.
