Mr. Chairman, I have a question. We can invite the minister to appear before the committee, but we cannot force the minister to come. Starting from that premise, how far can we go if we want to limit the minister's time, given the fact that we can invite him but not force him to appear? I think we have to develop a good relationship. I think that we are pushing it. Let's not exaggerate. We can live with certain rules. I seriously question the relevance of this type of motion.
