Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The minister is here. He presents to me as being very anxious to do his duty--very anxious, for instance, to entertain questions from the committee. I'd be surprised if the minister wanted to take leave now, when he doesn't need to be in the chamber--nor do any of us--for another 20 minutes. He's come here and he's accommodating us. I suspect he would like to accommodate us for about 15 more minutes.
