Mr. Chairman, I would like to clarify something. This morning, I was not notified that the meeting had been rescheduled. To my mind, this committee and the serious work it is undertaking are vitally important to all of our fellow citizens. At least Quebeckers are interested in what we are doing here. Given the speed at which this legislative committee is proceeding and the authority it wields, I find it totally unacceptable that while at an in camera meeting last night, it was decided that this morning's meeting would start at 10 a.m. and that later in the evening, for one reason or another, the start of the meeting was moved up by one hour.
As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Chairman, that's not the right way to go about our business as parliamentarians. I hope this won't happen again. Mr. Comartin and I were not notified of the scheduling change and as a result, we were not on hand for the presentations by Mr. Cooper and Mr. Muise. It's truly unfortunate that such things occur as part of the parliamentary process. Thank you.
