For further certainty, there was an email sent by the clerk indicating the sport minister asked to appear later on. I think what you're hearing from us and the Bloc is that we would like to hear from the sport minister sooner rather than later. If we feel the need to bring her back later, once the framework is in place, then we can hear from her twice.

We would like to have it towards the beginning of the study, because we believe it would allow us to establish a bit of a starting point or a foundation.

We'll obviously convey that message to the minister and the department, but, once again, it will boil down to the availability issue.

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
