I thank the Minister. I think he has clarified his position on answering these questions. I put it to the committee that we have the option of going into private session to get answers to certain questions from officials. Another option is to reconvene at 10 a.m. next Thursday to have the same meeting in public session. This would allow members to get answers from officials in public session. Would members be agreeable to that, rather than doing it in private session now and having to ask the same questions again in public session next week? I presume members want to have the answers recorded in public session. Would members be agreeable to having an additional meeting at 10 a.m. next Thursday to get answers from the officials?
