On the point that Mr. Tochor made, I would like to ask the clerk how this would affect planning. I understand that next week's meeting has already been planned with witnesses. What about that next meeting two weeks out? Would that involve changing witnesses' scheduling?
I guess what I'm feeling is that if we have a number of witnesses who really wanted to put forward ideas, we could ask them to submit briefs if they haven't done that already. We're already starting this next study momentarily. I think we should try to move on to that as best we can. In my experience in committees, we rarely get to hear all the witnesses. It's unfortunate, but we do get briefs. We've heard a lot of good information in this study, but I think we have to manage our time as best we can.
It's my opinion that the best way to move on would be to use written briefs for those who haven't been able to appear and move on to the next study.
