Larry, you are missing the point. This is not about being at a photo op or about being invited; this is about the relevance of committees. We all talk about committees in this country not being seen in any way close to the way committees are seen in many other parliaments around the world, and we believe, as MPs, they should be. So this is about the relevance of the committee itself.
But on Carol's point, as far as I'm concerned, Mr. Chair, we've registered our concern. We would ask that you at least make note of this to the Minister of Agriculture and the Prime Minister, that we do feel slighted by the way the press statement reads.
I do think we are obligated to finish the report. I'm not suggesting in any way that we don't finish the report; I think we're obligated to finish the report as quickly as we can. That obligation is to the witnesses who came before us and who put in a good effort at making their presentations and who expected us, I think, to act on them. So I think we have to complete the report with as much haste as we can.
