I'd like to point out that we don't need a dressing-down by the minister to remind us to do our jobs with professionalism and courtesy. Personally, I don't like the tone or the content of this letter.
If you see fit, I would like to recommend that you draft a letter to him on behalf of the committee recommending that he talk to some of his officials about coming to a parliamentary committee—when they're summoned to a committee—with the documentation we're obviously going to need. We don't want to go through another zoo story like we did when his ATIP coordinator showed up without even a hint of any of the paperwork that might have been needed for a two-hour interview by this committee.
So if anybody should be offended, it should be members of this committee, by the way we were treated by officials from DFAIT under the auspices of that minister.
