So we're not given a reason, which is a little bit unfortunate. I understand that ministers have busy schedules, but we've had that meeting scheduled for a long time. I find this very unfortunate. It's also unfortunate that the officials will be here with the ministers for an hour, when we had requested an hour with each minister. The officials are always welcome, and we always have a lot of questions, but we are being deprived of our due time as the official opposition to put questions forth on important subjects that matter to Canadians.
I am requesting that we have the officials from 3:30 to 4:15, and then have the ministers do their presentations as soon as they arrive. After that, we can ask questions, as is our duty.
