I agree with my colleague. I think this motion was brought before the House before the committee was set up. There was discussion about the minister coming.
I certainly am very keen to engage the minister. If there is a substantive reason not to have the minister come, or a reason for this to be deferred, I would like to hear it. But as for just saying it's out of order, I don't think that was the understanding. My understanding was that if I bring a motion now, in the middle of a meeting, that's out of order. But this was clearly brought to us and we had 48 hours. So if there is a good reason that he doesn't come to committee in the next two weeks--and I know that after that it might be harder--I'd like to hear it, because otherwise I think this motion needs to be discussed.
