Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I know that you are powerless when it comes to the government's decision to end the session, but committees don't have to stop meeting over the summer. If the session ends early, will the committee still be able to hold a meeting on June 11 to hear from the minister and the Ethics Commissioner, so that the committee's work can move forward? Everyone will be in Ottawa anyway. We're not going to bring people back if the House rises.
I just want to make sure that, if we agree to have the minister come on June 11, the meeting will take place. It's already unfortunate that he delayed his appearance, but it's all the more unusual that he chose that date, given all the rumours. We are in what feels like a week of rumours in Ottawa, and one of them is that the business of the House will end on June 10.
