Mr. Goldring has raised the question with me, “Well, there are other issues in government operations that affect other departments, and we may want to look at them, because the bigger committee, with all its work, doesn't have the time”. I have no personal objection to that at all, but I have to be careful; the agreement I have with your House leaders and whips and my own party is around this particular study. And I've had the question the other way around. My House leader has come to me and said “Well, there may be pieces of legislation that affect Treasury Board, or this, that we would like to bring to the committee”. I said, “If that happens, discuss it first with the House leaders”. I don't want to violate my agreement with your House leaders.
