That is not what is stated in the motion moved by Mr. Kennedy today. His motion calls on the minister to appear for two hours, but it does not specifically state that we will be discussing planned expenditures, Bill C-7 or infrastructure. It calls on the minister's appearance for the full two hours of the meeting. The motion will have to be amended to reflect that.
I agree that we have to discuss infrastructure. As for Bill C-7, I have no other questions to put to the minister. However, if I did have any questions, I would like to be able to raise them with him. I therefore do not object to discussing Bill C-7 for a half-hour at the start of a two-hour meeting. If we wish to talk about planned expenditures, we will have one hour and a half to do so. I have no problem with that.
