You talk about respect for the members of the committee and the work they do, but that bothers me a bit, Minister. You only had to wait just a few days.
Some very interesting questions were raised last week, anyway. The committee was getting ready to write a letter, and you could at least have waited for it to do that, even if it did not contain any large-scale recommendations. I care about this situation because it raises the issue of the respect shown for bodies like our committee.
Reference was made to the Minister having held a consultation on the issues discussed last week, but the stakeholders were not consulted. As we know, predictability is important for the people whose production is under supply management. Why were they not rapidly consulted?
