Indeed. It may not be very clear in French; I realize that. The idea is that the minister, the department's representatives or representatives from the agency appear before the committee and tell us what they intend to do and how they intend to proceed, so that we can share with them our thoughts and recommendations, if we do make any, before the work begins. We certainly do not want to hold up the process.
