Mr. Dong, it's not a procedural point of order. You are more than welcome to go and talk to the member after this meeting. If he is happy to show you the document, then he will do so.

Madam Chair, I'm more than willing to share the email that has been made public. If my colleague didn't do his homework, I can't help that, but I'd like to get the answer from the minister.

Can we just get the minister to tell us what happened in that meeting, without the interference of her Liberal colleagues? Craig Kielburger then went to Rachel Wernick and said he had two proposals. That second proposal became the Canada student service grant, with just a few bells and whistles added.

The first opportunity that I had to be at finance committee, I was there.
