Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would say, as did Mr. Anderson, that if we are going to have further meetings, there is going to be an extensive list of witnesses; it's going to go on. It will start looking like the motion we tabled from Ms. Bell.
I understand there are people suggesting we bring all past natural resources cabinet ministers. I'm not going to be tabling a motion to that effect, but my understanding is that there may be one tabled there. So we would have Mr. Dhaliwal and people like that. This would get to be a very long, extensive thing.
Some of these witnesses are going to take time to prep. This is going to take a little bit of time, so we should think very closely about whether we're going to do this all in this huge fashion or if we're going to roll it into part of our regular committee work, which will be only one week later. Next week is the last break week before Parliament resumes. We may just want to roll it in and then reset the committee's agenda, and go on with it there.
If it's that serious and it's going to be a long study of things that go way into the far past, then we need to do it in a serious and thorough manner, because there are going to be things coming up from witnesses that are going to make us want to call other witnesses. And you just can't call witnesses with one day's notice. So it's going to need to be over a staggered piece of time if we're going to do this in a thorough way.
If we're just going to rush through it and quickly paint over some ideas, yes, we can do it here, there, and anywhere. If we're going to do it thoroughly, we should do it in a regular fashion, in a consistent way.
