Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Perhaps I'll answer some of Monsieur Godin's concerns.
First, as we're doing this study, we learn of new witnesses as we go. That's what's happened here. What's particularly interesting about this witness is that they have a specific program that responds to the very question Mr. Chong raised at the start of this whole study when he asked what the universities were doing to prepare their graduates for the public service.
Here we have a college that actually offers a course that prepares people for the public service. It's an extremely good alignment. That's why I'm proposing it. I'm not suggesting that we bring in lots more witnesses. We have spent a good amount of time, and we're conducting a thorough study, but here is a college that actually has a course that directly addresses what Mr. Chong raised as a concern when we all agreed that this would be a good study.
Second, I don't think there's anything to prevent the analyst from preparing the report on all the witnesses we've heard so far. There's work to be done there, and it's going to take him time to do it. Then, if we have this witness come for one short meeting, we can ask questions and just modify the report at the end. It could be done through an appendix; there are many ways it could be done. But we don't have to hold off the whole report, Mr. Chair, in order to have this extra witness. The preparation of the report can start now.
