I want to put on the record—because I do find this offensive—that what's being said here is that if we ask to table this, as is our right as a committee, then this consultation will not happen. I want it to be made very clear that this is what's being put forward on the table, and it's something we cannot accept.
We have a job to do. We put together a report and it has to have a response. If the minister decides that she doesn't want to bother meeting with any stakeholders because we've put this forward, that's her business. I can live with that, and I'll sleep very well at night. But I would like to think that Minister Oda, having been part of the process with us, understands the value of that and of ongoing input from stakeholders from all arts groups.
