I enjoy talking to Mr. Stoffer and I don't want to go against his motion. I think we have to have regular meetings with witnesses. It is true that six meetings have been cancelled since last January. So we have to figure out a way to meet with the witnesses. The team must make sure that we are more consistent with our meetings. If there are no witnesses and although I really like Mr. Stoffer, I don't like him enough to come and chat with him here in committee. We can talk somewhere else. If there is no purpose to the meeting, it is useless. First and foremost, we need to have witnesses. There is work to be done and we must do it. We have to have meetings with witnesses and there is a whole process that goes with that.
