Absolutely not, Madam Chair.
We've asked the minister to come before this committee and to answer questions on this matter. We've given him many opportunities to come before us. As for having the parliamentary secretary, we have Mr. Del Mastro, a parliamentary secretary, at every meeting.
This is about getting to the bottom of this. Let's open up the schedule and ask the minister to pick the day, and we'll be here to ask him questions on this. I don't think it's acceptable to have a parliamentary secretary come and speak to a committee when there's already one sitting here at the table.
