Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, this is a big deal. We're talking about the right of democratically elected members of Parliament to determine what this committee does.
The majority of this committee, in fact, this committee twice has passed a motion unanimously—was it unanimous on Tuesday? It was unanimous the first time, the second time by majority, and decided what to do. The members elected by the people of this country have the responsibility and the right in this place to hold the executive to account, to hold ministers to account. That's why Mr. Baird is here. That's why it's up to members to decide the agenda of this committee. It's not up to the minister to come and tell you what the agenda should be. It's not up to you to change the agenda after members of this committee have decided twice what we should discuss at this meeting.
Mr. Chairman, I want to tell you I don't believe this is the kind of thing you want to do. This is not like you, Mr. Chairman, to have subverted the will of the committee. I don't believe for one second that you believe in doing this, and I'm sure you regret the fact that you've taken the will of the committee, which was to have the minister here and discuss the last year, and change it to what he wants instead.
