Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thanks very much for being here with us once again.
There's just a couple of things I'd like to clear up for the record. I have a letter in front of me, Mr. Minister, just in case you thought you may have done something that didn't get received by this committee. It did. I have a letter in front of me dated June 2 and addressed to the chair. It reads:
Thank you for your letter dated May 13, 2010, inviting me to appear before the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
I would be pleased to accept your invitation to appear for an hour before the Committee on June 17, 2010 to respond to questions.
Then it goes on to talk about the two reports.
I also have in front of me a letter to the clerk, dated June 7, which reads:
As I indicated in my letter of June 2, 2010, I was pleased to accept the invitation to appear before the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics on June 17, 2010. While I am happy to appear before the Committee, I am only able to be present to discuss both reports for one hour only, as I stated in my previous letter.
I just wanted to make sure that this did get on the record. Sometimes things get misplaced, and sometimes with all due good intentions people can forget what they have read and what they have—
