Mr. Chair, Mr. Lacroix is a witness listed in the study with respect to television. I think this motion is probably redundant, and the minister is not listed as a witness on that study, but that study is so important that we couldn't hear from the Canada Council as soon as possible. Therefore I think the motion is likely redundant.
In the interests of the committee getting on to this important study that we need to get on to, I don't think we want the minister taking up any time from any of these witnesses, so we had better stick to the witness list, on which Mr. Lacroix is a member.
