Thank you, Mr. Chair.
For the reasons cited by Mr. Bezan, precisely because the minister is ultimately responsible, I think he must know, or ought to know, that it is relevant for him to appear.
If, during the course of the examination, everything was made clear before he appeared, we could review the issue.
I said at the outset that, since I wanted to conduct a public interest examination and not be partisan on this subject, I called the members of all parties. I now have three responses from the side of my colleagues opposite expressing their desire to limit the scope of the examination.
I think that in the name of parliamentary friendship, we should not start reducing the scope of the examination before knowing the first thing, honestly.
I think we might need a bit more good faith co‑operation in this matter.
