Mr. Chairman, as we so often hear from the Speaker, we all know very well that committees are the masters of their own houses and the committee can decide to do what it wants to do. If it chooses to change its agenda a little during its meetings, it's not a problem.
I'm sure if you were to ask the minister to stay for a few more minutes, as my colleague has suggested, I can't imagine that she wouldn't want to, in view of the importance of this subject.
