I appreciate your point of view as well, Mr. Chairman, but time is always of the essence. The health care review is very important. Even the opposition parties continually go back to the VIP program. We know it's important to everybody to try to make sure that the whole health care review can feed into a sustainable, broader-based program.
I also understand the clerk's difficulty in trying to get witnesses. But if there's any kind of work we can do next week that doesn't depend on getting witnesses from far-flung areas, we should do it. If it's a local witness, it won't be a big inconvenience to them if we cancel them because we can't go ahead with the meeting. But if there's some aspect of the health care review we can get moving on, then I think we should.
