First, I am pleased that the minister will make himself available for the review of the main estimates. However, we mustn't forget that what often happens when the main estimates are reviewed, is that a two-hour meeting is set aside, and a minister might stay for two hours, although that is usually not the case. The last time we studied the estimates, the minister only stayed for an hour. Only the representatives from the department, whom I highly respect, were available for the second half of the meeting.
Given the fact that the minister only stayed for one hour instead of two, I think that this time he should stay longer. As far as I know, the minister is open to appearing before the committee for the review of the main estimates.
