I don't have any difficulty with what Mr. Fast just said. The two are not linked. We have a job to do. We've committed to doing it by the end of December on the one particular issue regarding Canada Post, and that's remailers, and this motion doesn't detract at all from that commitment.
This is vis-à-vis a larger review that the minister indicated he might be thinking of doing. And if the government proceeds with such a large review, it'll likely take much more than a few months. These things have a tendency to take a little longer. And I'm suggesting that if this is adopted, before that larger review, if ever it's done, is started, this committee have a chance to look at the terms of reference that the government might be putting together and offer suggestions and modifications. That's it.
That can be done in one meeting, and it doesn't even require the minister. Apart from the fact that the minister mentioned this, I'm not suggesting that we need to call the minister, even. This is a matter of a simple procedure, of saying, get us as a committee involved in setting your terms of reference; at least get our opinion on the record, and then proceed. That's all that says.
