Thank you for raising that.
We have written, Mr. Lehoux, to Minister Fraser. My understanding is that—I'll let the clerk weigh in, if she feels it's necessary—there are about six or seven different parliamentary committees requesting his presence at this time. We were informed that it was not going to be possible. He was unwilling to make the time because of his schedule. You can appreciate that we can't necessarily compel one of our parliamentary colleagues to come to a committee. That is the reality for all committee members.
However, if there's something you feel is necessary to go forward on, we would have to seek the agreement of the committee.
