The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Can I interrupt for a second to give some information to the committee? Then I'll let you go.

This Tuesday he couldn't come because of cabinet. Thursday he's going to the Senate committee. Next Tuesday is cabinet, and then he's off to COP28. He wants to come, but he won't be back in the country until December 15.

I just wanted to give you some background. It's not that he doesn't want to appear; it's a scheduling conflict.

Go ahead.
