Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chairman, this is information that was requested a while back, two days ago. Now we are scrambling around, like everybody else is saying. I think it's critical that we get advanced information. We wouldn't be going through what we are going through now, waiting. We are asking questions here and nothing has been provided at this time. Some Ministers are getting information as we speak. This was a major decision you are making here. Whether it be $100,000 or $200,000, that is a lot of money that could also go to communities. Without backup documentation, it's hard for me as a Regular MLA to approve it or to go against it. I need detailed information that breaks down attendees or expenditures, who is going or who is meeting with who, departure dates, an itinerary and so forth. So I just want to reiterate what other Members have been saying here. We do need the documentation as a backup to make our decision, Mr. Chair. Without information, I would have to support the information that is in front of us. Mahsi.
