First of all I'd like to apologize to our guests. You will understand that we must now settle certain logistics problems. I'm really very sorry, and with your permission, I will continue.
Mr. Chairman, we were to stand on procedure or be legalistic about this, you would have to acknowledge that I am allowed to table a motion. In fact, in order to do so, I would have to give notice of motion. However, a motion asking the minister of Justice to appear about an access to information bill has already been voted upon and adopted.
Under the circumstances, I would have thought that logic and the principle of reasonable accommodation would have meant that during today's meeting—I would have preferred it to be at the beginning, but it could also be at the end—you would make a commitment to reserve five or ten minutes to see whether it would be possible to receive the new Minister of Justice, or to submit our motion to him.
