I will vote against this motion. The minister must take responsibility. He is the minister responsible for the Lobbying Act. He is responsible for that legislation. If he cannot make this a priority, act as the minister responsible for the Lobbying Act and come talk to us about his role concerning this legislation, that would be unacceptable.
Ministers are accountable to Parliament. He should change his schedule in order to appear before us. He is responsible. If the minister is accountable to Parliament, he should find a way to come meet with us because we are discussing the legislation for which he is primarily responsible. He is connected to this act. This should be a priority and the minister in charge should appear before us. He should change his schedule to make that possible.
I don't really believe that the minister has no time or cannot find a moment to come meet with us, especially since we are giving him many possibilities. If this minister is serious, he will make time and come meet with us.
Therefore, I will vote against this motion.
