If I may, before we start, I have a point of order or a comment about the procedure on the points of disagreement between the protocol of the Treasury Board and Mr. Franks' issues.
I got that during question period today. I think it's very difficult. These are not easy issues to grapple with. Unless there's somebody here who's a lot smarter than I am, these are not easy issues to come to grips with. I would have really liked to have that information well in advance so I could come before committee and make better judgments than I am right now.
I'm registering a protest about making decisions today without having had that in my hands in advance so I could think through these issues. It was my understanding that we were going to have that in advance.
