Could I propose that we, as a new committee of new members, take the time to assess and highlight our priorities as a collective before choosing to do that?

I somewhat agree with that suggestion, Madam Chair. Meeting with the minister is an essential part of everything the committee will be dealing with. We need to meet with the minister to find out his plans in relation to various issues. That is crucial to steer the committee and help us decide how to prioritize the studies we want to conduct. The sooner he comes, the better we can plan committee business. It's a must.

I completely agree with Mr. Champoux, Madam Chair. We need to figure out what our priorities are, so our discussion with the minister can be as fruitful as possible. That said, we fully agree that the minister needs to appear before the committee eventually and that the committee should prioritize that discussion.

Since no one else has anything to add, I will call the vote.
Are all in favour, or do we want a recorded vote?
We'll have a recorded vote.
