Indeed.
Should we also invite the minister, so that he can tell us what the department's intentions are? We could invite him at the end, after we've heard from all the other witnesses. That way, we could share with him the other witnesses' comments. That's not at all a tactic to try to corner him. I think that, before we meet with the minister, we should meet with the other witnesses. That will enable us to convey to him the witnesses' questions or comments.
