Mr. Chair, I submit to you that we'd like the minister to be present. We've heard a great deal of testimony questioning the current government's management. Out of respect for the former minister, I think it only stands to reason that she should be able to appear before this committee and respond to the arguments made and, more importantly, the testimony that we heard, particularly from the former member for Yellowhead, who is here today and who spoke directly with the minister. The minister needs to come and testify, tell her side of the story and answer our questions.
