Mr. Chairman, I agree with what Mr. St. Denis said. The only caveat I would add is with respect to the individuals who have expressed a willingness to appear before us: maybe we can offer them the opportunity to send whatever written reports they have to us, so we can have access to them. And we should thank and acknowledge them in writing.
In all fairness, due to time constraints prior to Christmas, I think having a draft before us also allows the parliamentary secretary to work with the minister and with her colleagues in order to see where we can go. It would sure be nice to have something in place just prior to a possible spring election. Then we could all say we've done our work appropriately.
