Thank you, Mr. Chair, for giving me an opportunity.
The way I see it, and as Mr. Jean said, noise is an issue in my part of the world, but it's been there for many, many years and months. Certainly, I have talked to the people in the Vancouver area and they're willing to come in the new year to make presentations.
Right now, if we look at the March 31 deadline, it's approaching and there are many municipalities that might be scrambling. So I think it's a good idea to accommodate one meeting on that now, as Mr. McCallum said—because we can't make hypothetical or imaginary decisions or deliberations here, Mr. Jean. As you said, it's not going to make a difference. The only way it can make a difference is by listening to people, by having input from the people.
Mr. Chair, I would suggest that we accommodate Mr. McCallum's request, because he has always been a very reasonable man and I think it's a very reasonable request.
