Mr. Speaker, I think the member misunderstands what we are trying to do here.
We have formed an advisory committee. Everyone in the country is not on it. Therefore by its very nature some people are going to be excluded. The process is multifaceted. There are many ways for people to express their points of view.
With respect to the advisory committee itself, as we explained yesterday the committee will be receiving submissions from people as they wish. Reports as they become available will be made open to the public. For that matter, if the chairman and members of the committee wish to hold public hearings as far as I am concerned they are most welcome to do so.
We want a process that is both functional and inexpensive to get us to the conclusion of this part of our policy development process as expeditiously as possible and as I am sure the member would like us to do.
