To counter that, Mr. Lauzon, I'd simply say that, as the chairman has already alluded to today, we are the masters of our destiny. If we completely tie ourselves to legislation and language that precludes us taking a different course from what might be the government's initiative for that day, while it may not be urgent, they may ask us to do it anyway. I think this committee should never be deprived of that right. It's something we've always prided ourselves on, and I would hope that our committees could always do that and we together, collectively, could be able to do that.
