I don't think there's any doubt that adding additional witnesses of this calibre would certainly benefit the committee. My only concern is the time. We have done some juggling recently to add the municipal people, as suggested I think by Mr. Tonks. As well as the minister, we're having the National Energy Board and the Forest Products Association on the ninth. So we really are booked solidly through May until the break week.
I have to ask the committee whether you would want one more week of witnesses before we do our first draft report. Perhaps I could suggest that we go to the break week with the current schedule. In terms of the research, I would ask that you start to put a draft together without these witnesses, and then we can maybe have a week and add their comments at the end. That might speed it up.
I think we could probably still get it done. It hasn't been particularly controversial, and I don't expect we're going to have a lot of controversy with the report. Of course Mr. Holland is not here, so I can't say that for sure.
I would ask the committee members for your thoughts. We could maybe add two meetings and a few more witnesses at the end. In the course of our discussions through May, there may be one or two more you want to add. Are you all right with one more week after the break?
