Mr. Chair, we had originally talked about, I believe, 3:30 to 5:30. The minister is willing to be here during that time slot, from 4:30-ish to 5:30, when we have votes. Anything anyone did to change their schedule is not in any way impacted by this change. It would still be there but just for the second half of that hour that we originally scheduled. The minister was going to be here for an hour and then officials for an hour. The minister will be here for approximately one hour.
If the committee wishes the minister to appear after votes....I've been on enough committees to know that we were oftentimes interrupted by votes in the last session. We'd be in our deliberations. Votes would have been scheduled. We'd come back after votes. It happened many times in the last session.
The minister has said he's willing to come back right after votes, so I would hope the members would try to accommodate. It's not really a major shift from what we had originally scheduled anyway.
