With all great respect for my colleague here, he wasn't here to hear the discussion and I was, as was Mr. Blanchette-Joncas. Quite honestly, to even refresh our memory of what had occurred, I think that four meetings is quite reasonable. I do understand the need for efficiency, but I think quite honestly that members of this committee will find it very interesting. There are so many criteria involved in the allocation of research funding. It is a complicated subject, and we certainly had a good sense of the diversity of opinion, but I don't think we got anywhere near to making recommendations or feeling able to do so. With all due respect to my colleague, I would say that four more meetings would not be unreasonable.
