Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Like my colleagues, I feel that it is important for us as members of Parliament to meet and put questions first to the member of Parliament responsible for natural resources. That is the minister, of course. It seems logical to me to start with him. We want to hear his side and ask him questions.
Like Ms. Bell, I would be prepared to stay on Parliament Hill and hear from Ms. Keen on Thursday if the minister's availability is better in the afternoon than in the morning. All of us around the table agree that the matter is very important. We have all rearranged our schedules in order to shed light on it. If the minister is available in the afternoon only, I am sure that we would all be ready to schedule Ms. Keen on Thursday.
We should be able to come to an agreement quite easily, Mr. Chair.
